A Response

It was a privilege and pleasure to labor over the the 2010 Year in Review Tattler issue. I am deeply honored by Editor Merle's  acknowledgement. However, I found myself a bit uncomfortable in fully accepting the kudos because I did not do it alone: 

Sec. Cassi and Mr. B contributed greatly and dropped what they were doing to assist at a moment's notice. Pres.Eric acted as a brilliant broker securing needed information entertaining our pleas for help.ADG Cheryl, and PP Erva, PP Val were wise consultants who provided empirical data at a monments' notice.Rtns. Val, LaVerne, Sinclair were cheerleaders when the road was tiresome Past Tattler Editor Ida White had a hand in my guidance and training and continued to be a friendly but wise mentor .

 Of course, I am grateful and honored to work under Merle who is a true leader and teacher. She enriched me to accomplish such a  momumental  task. She has awesome skills, qreat wisdom, tenacity and capability.

Last, but not least, all my fellow Rotary II members were an inspiration if not in word but in spirit.
