Dear fellow-liberator: VIVA! Let me tell you that Mary and I concur in the opinion that your 60 souls, 2-generations blow-out was the gayest event we've been to in the entire reign of Elizabeth !!. "These wild geese shall never meet again!" Tell Jack and Gladys that we are very grateful to have been on the guest list. Had it not been for our advanced years we would have stayed for breakfast - as I fear many may have done! The enclosed AA booklet from Australia is to help you in your reform work in Oregon. I've heard the Northwest Harvet is great - the gleaners few and far between. Let uncle Charlie read it first if he wishes to. Thanks again, Jack - ciglessly yours - Joe Diggles
