As we approach the closing of another year, let us all resolve to become more diligent in our efforts to support this organization and the many wonderful opportunities it has been affording to us. We are confident that with your continued support of our program we will be able to carry out more fully the obligations we have accepted.
Let us truly be thankful for the blessings that have been ours in the past year. Let us remember the grand times and good good we have shared at our yearly Family Reunions, and be grateful for them. Let us continue to express this gratitude to those who have done so much to see that we do have good times together, and who work so hard to provide the opportunity to belong to this Family society. You know that someone had to start or organize it into what we now have. We, the editors of this publication, and I’m sure we speak for all of you folks too, at this time express the warmest of gratitude to our officers. Especially, do we thank our President, David Wm. Rowley, for his untiring efforts in this calling. Too, we realize that without the help of a understanding and willing wife, he could not accomplish the good work he does, so a big thanks to his good wife, Lillian A. Rowley.
We would like to thank also each of our four Vice Presidents for their loyal support. One cannot do a job this big without the help of wonderful men like these men, Vivian Wade, Luke Day, John Van Rowley and William R. Jones.
And to our Historian, Luella Jones Downard, our Researcher, Angie Warner, and our Secretary, Mary Bradley, we do want to express this same gratitude for their many, many hours of dedicated service for this organization. For the sacrifice they have made now again for help with the publication and distribution of this publication. We know they are all mothers and homemakers which is a job in and of itself, and of their Church obligations. Thank you very much for your loving and wonderful work.
Well, at the close of this issue and at the close of this year, may we wish you all the best of everything and much joy and happiness this season of holidays.
