Thank you Jack, we want the members, (non-members also) to be at ease concerning Centennial Plans and to also look forward to a great time. We are very grateful for the many that have volunteered to assist. Those that have not heard from us yet, believe me you will. Spreading out the work load is a good thing. I received from Ernie Loeb's son, Butch, a marvelous package of items including pictures of Ernie as a boy. All of this will be shared, Tom Brown is working hard on collecting items from the very beginning of the foundation of the PC. Items include notes, letters, and even minutes from Board Meetings. The physical display should be educational as well as entertaining.
