My apologies to Lee and Sue Linehan for not including them in the "year in review" edition for achieving 50 years of marriage. It was never my intention to omit them when putting that edition together. What we were trying to do was give an overview of the year and take samples of news items from here and there. But they are right, if I use some I should probably have used all. I have offended the Linehans and so I include them in this (print) issue.

I hope the couple can accept my apology, 50 years is certainly something to be remembered and proud of.

And if I omitted anyone else, I'm sorry. It was such a long year, filled with many events and activities. We did fill eight pages with looking-back news. Actually, when we got through poring over the pages of the past year we were exhausted from reliving all 365 days.

Much of that news can also be found in the archives of our Web site.

While we do not include the anniversaries and birthdays on our Web page, we do have the obituaries.
