TENNESSEE VALLEY WOOD WORKERS
SPLINTERS September
1994 - -
FaIl is almost with
us. These cool evenings are a delightful change. We’ve got an inside scoop on the
true meteorological cause of our extended summer rains and the ensuing
persistently luscious lawns. Yes, we owe it all to a conspiracy of greed by a consortium
of lawnmower manufactures, dealers, repair people and gardeners. This is no
different than frequent lightening strikes known to be caused by greedy
Television repair and sales people. Thats right ... just remember you heard it first
right here in the “Splinters”, published for the inquiring mind by the lame
minded.
THANKS FOR
THE THANKS
At our last meeting the
club honored Susan and I with a surprise Thank You with a neet message composed
by Henry and Judy Davis accompanied by a lovely cherry kitchen tray built by Phil
Bishop. We return the thanks to Jim VanCleave and the membership for
recognizing our efforts on the newsletter – it’s truly a nice feeling to be
recognized by such a fine group. Help we get from the membership in
contributing news items makes it easier for us and more meaningful to all of
our readers -- keep up the good work!!! Please also let us know if you might be
interested in helping out with the production or distribution end of the
newsletter. We don’t mean to “Hog all the glory here” if anyone is interested
in transitioning to editor and chief, we’re here to help.
