"Lookie, lookie -- a newsletter! I realize that it has been quite a
while
since you have received a Scuttlebutt Newsletter. I've been extremely
busy
with running my business (Delta Webs) and Delta Chamber activities.
I'm
trying to get more organized and streamlined so I can get information
out to
you all regularly. Of course, sometimes I'm just lame, so you can
blame me!
Anyway, life in the Delta carries on following the path of our lazy
rivers.
On a sad note, our friend Joanie Schell passed away last month. She
was the
widow of our own Hal Schell who passed away last June. We will miss
them
both.
