THANK YOU, FRANNY
PAGE!
A SPECIAL THANKS to Fran
for taking the time to repair your editor's computer, and then
driving all the way to Bradford to
deliver it. You must understand, no computer, no bulletin as your editor only
uses the typewriter in extreme emergencies. The other reason is that on the
computer, I don’t need white-out to correct my many mistakes.
Again Franny, thank you so
much.
We
had guests last week.
From Danvers, came one Kevin Gould,
while from right here in Beverly came former member Wayne
Hansen and Paul Downey. Two more
former members one from Lynn, Paul McCormack
and one from Marietta, GA, a former chapter president John
Daly.
We also had a guest from Salem, back for his second visit, Whitey
Plecinga. WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU!

So,
if Leon should tap you on the shoulder, just say,
yes I can help!
SATURDAY,
MAY 10th
The date of our annual show which
provides the major portion of the funds necessary to sustain the chapter for the

international this year. Now is not too
early to start selling ads or your
ticket selling list. A point of info.
The Freelancers
are the old quartet,
BSQ,
with a new bass, who just happened to be the bass of Dealers Choice
when they won the gold in 1973.
A CORRECTION! Last edition,
I stated that the word MEMBERSHIP contained two words. I’m wrong, it contains three
words. Those words are ME
and MEMBER, and SHIP.
Now, put together you can come up with SHIP ME
a MEMBER.
BE A SINGER BRINGER!
