Leucy Moore, Dec. 16th, 1928, and we were most cordially welcomed
by our hostess and her daughter - We were soon seated at a delightful
supper where we enjoyed conversing with our neighbors as well as the
food - There was an interval after supper and then the meeting was
called to order, and the minutes of the last meeting at Leeascroft were
read - Then followed the minutes of the meeting at Norwood, which were

Edith Thomas asked about doing over a chair, and got several
answers, but no one man was decided on as being the best for the job.

Mr. Harry Stabler asked how far it was from Overlook to the
District line & was told - 11 1/4 miles.
