The three elements of this plan are: · Build, modify and fly a homebuilt aircraft · Form a business to design and manufacture propellers for homebuilt aircraft · Restore antique and classic automobiles Gary then told the group and showed pictures about his flying trip to Alaska in his Burt Rutan designed and Gary Hertzler mod-ified Vari-Eze. He also brought with him several of his own design and manufactured aircraft propel-lers and presented information on his fabrication processes. In ad-dition, Gary described the three World Aviation Flying records which he holds.

His latest book, "The Deadly Sins of Aristotle Onassis," was just published and is written a-round the Piaggio accident that occurred during takeoff and killed Alexander, Ari's son. His talk will deal with the people involved with the accident, his de-fense of the American pilot who was accused of causing the ac-cident and his experiences as a Plaintiff's lawyer in other aircraft accidents. Reminder - we no longer charge dues for the spouse of couples who are both retirees from AiResearch/Garrett/ AlliedSignal/Honeywell.

Other Stuff Two couples were playing poker one evening. John accidentally dropped some cards on the floor. When he bent down under the table to pick them up, he noticed Bill's wife Sue wasn't wearing any under-wear. Shocked by this, John, upon trying to sit back up again, hit his head on the table and emerged red-faced. Later, John went to the kitchen to get some refreshments. Bill's wife followed and asked, "Did you see anything that you liked under there?" Surprised by her boldness, John admitted that indeed he had. She said, "Well, you can have it but it will cost you $500." After taking a minute or two to assess the financial and moral costs of this offer, John confirmed that he was interested. She told him that since her husband Bill works Friday afternoons and John doesn't, John should be at her house around 2 p.m. Friday. When Friday rolled around, John showed up at Bill's house at 2 p.m. sharp and after paying Sue the agreed sum of $500 they went to the bedroom and closed their transaction. John quickly dressed and left. As usual, Bill came home from work at 6 p.m. and upon entering the house, asked his wife abruptly, "Did John come by the house this afternoon?" With a lump in her throat Sue answered, "Why yes, he did stop by for a few minutes this after-noon." Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband curtly asked, "And did he give you $500?" In terror she assumed that some-how he had found out and after mustering her best poker face, replied, "Well, yes, in fact he did give me $500." Bill, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by saying, "Good, I was hoping he did. John came by the office this morning and borrow-ed $500 from me. He pro-mised me he'd stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back." Now THAT, my friends, is a poker player.

The sermon tonight "Searching for Jesus." Our youth basketball team is back in action Wednesday at 8 PM in the recreation hall. Come out and watch us kill Christ the King. Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping a-round the house. Don't forget your husbands. The peacemaking meeting schedul-ed for today has been canceled due to a conflict. Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say "Hell" to someone who doesn't care much about you. Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help. Miss Charlene Mason sang "I will not pass this way again," giving obvious pleasure to the congre-gation. For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nur-sery downstairs. Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get. Barbara remains in the hospital and needs blood donors for more trans-fusions. She is also having trouble sleeping and requests tapes of Pastor Jack's sermons. The Rector will preach his farewell message after which the choir will sing "Break Forth Into Joy." Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days. A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall. Music will follow. At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be "What Is Hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice. Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of sev-eral new members and to the deter-ioration of some older ones. Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles and other items to be re-cycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children.

Beyond Valium, peace is knowing one's child is an internist.
On Passover we opened door for Elijah. Now our cat is gone.
After the warm rain the sweet smell of camellias. Did you wipe your feet?
Her lips near my ear, Aunt Sadie whispers the name of her friend's disease.
Today I am a man. Tomorrow I will return to the seventh grade.
Testing the warm milk on her wrist, she sighs softly. But her son is forty.
Like a bonsai tree, is your terrible posture at my dinner table. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Officer: "Soldier, do you have change for a dollar?" Soldier: "Sure, buddy."
Officer: "That's no way to address an officer! Now let's try it again! Do you have change for a dollar?" Soldier: "No, SIR!"
