The stencils are cut and assembled by Rita, The Wife, and myself. The 
cover is designed and drawn by our daughter(Rita). Our youngest daught- 
er(Marietta) helps put the pages together, so her Dad can staple them, 
Bor cuweeks we have paper from roem to room. This is a mess, just try it. 
The addressing is done by The Wife, which is quite a task. The youngest 
son(Robert) ig in the Armed Forces. The eldest Son(Wayne) works in town, 
so doesn't have much time to helpe © |
