When is a newsletter not a newsletter When it's full colour and 36 pages long That was 12 years ago when I began designing it It was a 4-page black and white newsletter It has since grown into this schmaltzy Quarterly full colour community publication I've always taken great pride In every venture I've become involved with Now in my years since retirement Once again had my fingers back in the pie It has given me “raison d'être” Translated... “a reason for being” My only regret is that it's quarterly Instead of monthly as I would have preferred It is so very important to remain active Any way we can in our retirement years

Good advice Jack, keep your mind active. It certainly helps as you get older. I'm back for the moment, hope you're keeping well. Tom
