1523rd Meeting
February 4, 1988
Betty Grey
Grey's Landing

The 1523rd meeting of the Association met on February 4, 1988, at Betty
Grey's Grey's Landing, with Wendy Lawrence as chairman.

Two sets of minutes were read: those of the last meeting here, and those
of the last meeting. The Treasurer was absent.

The next meeting will be with Rose Hutton at Riverside; the April meeting
with Caroline Hussman at Roslyn; and the May meeting with Betty Ligon at
Homestone (or Great Ease). The September meeting will be with Betty Hartge.

Betty Grey had a card to Betty Ligon for each of us to sign to tell her that
we missed her. Sylvia Woodward was missed too. She is not well, and is
scheduled to have surgery on her knee on February 12. She will be in the
Hospital for two weeks, and then go to the Nursing Home for two weeks. Joy
was absent to spend the lunch hour with her Father. Mary Lil said that
Sylvia sends her love and looks forward to her next Association meeting.

The Sentiment of the Hostess
He prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

Beth Bullard's question was for the exact quotation that Chris Kalstad had
given at last month's meeting from a Seneca Indian.

Mary Reading Miller read from a letter she had received from Hue, the second
daughter of their Vietmanese extended family, who is now living with her
husband in Rome. Ha, the youngest daughter is in graduate school in Chicago.
Hoa , the oldest daughter, and her husband have secure jobs and comfortable
lives in Arizona. Their Mother has joined them there. It has been almost
15 years since they arrived in the USA. Today home means USA. Hue has a
job with IFAD as an accountant. She and he husband are on short-term
contacts. They have traveled in Switzerland, France, Netherlands and Germany
during their stay in Europe. The family has done phenomonally!

Jane Stabler reported on an article from Colonial Homes about a New York
banker who now does metal craft, and sells his work in his wife's craft
shop in Milford, Connecticut. He had learned his craft at Deerborn, Michigan,
and is especially interested in colonial lighting, tinder boxes. Jane's
question was for books, etc., for a lonely Iranian woman.. Caroline Hussman
said that many of the Iranian students at Sandy Spring Friends School had
connections in Towson, when she was working at School. Beth Bullard will
inquire of an acquaintance of hers for information.

Caroline Hussman read from an article the Christian Science Monitor
regarding the importance of the study of Geography in Education--the relation-
ship of people and the land they live in. She had an answer to a question:
To unstop a drain, pour down the drain 1 C baking soda, 1 C Vinegar and
boiling water.
