by the hundreds. It was time for the… Read

An Old Diary, An Old Calendar
By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! There's a 100 year old diary a WWI soldier kept. In a pocket
of his uniform, it traveled with him on long, cold, wet marches through
France. In pencil, he meticulously recorded the activity - marches,
drills, rests, food, no food, forages into turnip fields to eat, stolen
food from "KP", being able to eat at a table (some French people
"hosted" the troops with a hot meal & bath before...

NOTES
& THOUGHTS
FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2012
Recently
Memorial Hall was the setting for a memorial weekend. The hall was
packed for “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”… and it was the scene (at
least to me) of a sad announcement. DCCA Executive Director Julie
Strait is retiring. I served on the Board during her tenure; I
respected her leadership. CNO wishes Julie and her successor (to be
named) success in their future endeavors. Don’t forget to
