Fines, Happy Bucks, Confessions:

• Bob Ike took a trip to Florida.
• Bob Yost went fishing with Dave Morrell, followed by a tall-stool meeting.
• Dianne, who won the crumb cake at our last assembly auction, was happy that she got to eat all of it herself.
• Bob Sloan happy-bucked for a great Spring Break.  He also is happy the PM Youth Football has eliminated weight as a criterion for eligibility; it will now be based only on age and grade.  He also ran 12 miles, outside, this past Sunday.
• Dave Read went to Myrtle Beach with daughter Karen and her family, then on the way back to NY, spent some time with son Peter and his family.
