FROM THE PRESIDENT

As you can see from the reunion schedule, Don and Joan Anderson have an outstanding program scheduled for us. That part of the country, especially the Williamsburg area, is a history book in itself. There is so much history there that all ought to see it. If you haven't, now is a good time, and if you have, come join us and see it again.

Please get your registration in as soon as possible so that the Anderson's will be able to make all of the final arrangements. And don't forget to make your hotel reservations.

This will be my last month as President. I have certainly enjoyed the last two years. We have come a long way since those early planning months of 1989, and I am proud to be a part of that growth. TOPEKA Men are certainly a fine bunch of people with whom to be associated.

If the "management" will permit, I will continue to edit the newsletter each quarter. I wish the best to my successor.
