“We have come a full circle with our culture. What was old and primitive has returned with new meaning and pride.
That is what I’m painting anew. Feel a new step, a new dance to a new song — but done with that old family pride.”
— Ted D. Palmer, Navajo
I’d like to welcome all new members to the club and howdy to everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. Spring is finally here and I’m looking forward to getting out doing some rock collecting and enjoying nature as God intended.
I would like to thank the Talley’s for hosting another successful spring swap and also thank St. John’s Lutheran Church for hosting us. Hopefully, we can do it again next year.
I’m thankful that our club is renewing itself. Our members are stepping forward and taking the reins — which reminds me, by the way, we’re still looking for that special editor to take over for Pete.
I would like to talk about doing more field trips at the General Meeting, so please show up — we can always use your input.
See you there and God bless.
Big Mike
