| A HUGH THANK-YOU |
| CHAIRPERSON: TONY & KATHY FASANO |
| Performance by a dedicated group who really put their life into a fun event, there was a little competition between each group, words like "Old People" "Generic Crowd" "Escapees from the nursing home" & "Want-a-bee's" were thrown about freely by both groups. Members welcomed home a lot of veterans, handed out applications for the V. V. A. And the A.V.V.A and received Thank-You's from many of the people who freely gave donations. I personally want to THANK all who came out to help us collect. Ralph Keiper |

To tell you that the flowers were well
received, well there would not be any Justus
in anything I could say, but this little guy
really liked them, just look at the intensity in
his eyes.
Kathy Fasano can tell you that many people
said that their poppies were red, but were set
straight for the colors of The Vietnam
Veterans.
