This is a good time to write a note of support and thanks to our troops. Let them know they are not forgotten during the holidays and we are thinking and praying for their safety and efforts to bring about the end of the fighting and harm to local peoples.
I am printing the names of local servicemen and women so you can write them and have them in your thoughts and prayers. If you know of others to add to this list please call me at 946-7952 for Susan Beary. If not home, leave the address on my answering machine.
We want to welcome home Andy Chilton who recently completed his service time. He is doing some construction work and also works at the south end tavern with his mother Brenda.
James Gordon is the grandson of Bonnie and Darwin Gordon. He is currently in Iraq with the Army.
