      WHERE WERE YOU? 

 One year ago our great country found out just how vulnerable we can be because of our freedoms that allows terrorist the loopholes in our society to attack us. Your editor, for example, had just gone over to his daughter's to do the bulletin due to computer problems at home.

Where were you on August 28th  when the Northshoremen  went up to visit the Nashua chapter, and were treated royally in an event that the Granite Statesmen hope to make an annual year end affair, just like the Beverly Bash?

Where were you on Sunday, September 8th  the day of the Northshoremen family picnic at Lynch park, which by the way, many kudos to Bob Huntley and his committee for a great job? A great time was had by all of those who bothered to attend.  Many, many thanks to the ladies of the Northshoremen for their many contributions to the desert fund, as the desert table was the highlight of the picnic. THANK YOU LADIES! 

LAST WEEKS GUESTS:  One Paul McCormack, a former member who is coming back to enhance the bass section. From South Carolina came Bob Cluett, brother of the Wally Cluett of Wakefield, NH.  While from North Carolina, old friend Don Dobson was with us. Welcome to all of you!
