The summer duldrums are upon us. Desert activities have slowed. The Section's management committee is in recess and the secretary has no meeting minutes to report. Nonetheless, some of the Section members have been active and here we will take the time and pleasure to report the status changes.
First, I would like to report that during the months of July and August a total of three desert enthusiasts have renewed their membership in the DPS and subscriptions to the Desent Sage for at least another year. Unfortunately, I must also report that one former desert enthusiast has asked to have their name dropped from the DPS membership and subscription roster. As Section secretary, I would like to solicit the membership's opinion as to whether we should in the future publish the names of those individuals who either fail to renew their membership and/or subscriptions after six months or ask to be dropped from the membership roster? Your opinions and input are invited.
Second, let us welcome one new member and two subscriberers to the DPS. The new folks are:
| Willie
Richter 225 N. Lima #1 Sierra Madre, CA 91024 (Dan Richter's son) |
Dan
Belsiberg 1120 23rd Street Santa Monica, CA 90403 |
John
Hohstadt 411 A Street Needles, CA 92363 |
During the same two month period, Graham Breakwell, a devout desert trooper, moved North along with his job. We will all miss Graham as much as he will miss the desert. Graham's new address and Donna O'Shaughnessy's phone number correction are listed below:
| Graham
Breakwell 6 Ellen Court Orinda, CA 94563 (510) 253-1432 |
Donna
R. O'Shaughnessy 3518 Del Amo Blvd. Torrance, CA 90503-1603 (310) 370-8838 W:(310) 814-2230 |
Finally, I would like to acknowledge and congratulate the achievers in our Section that have distinguished themselves during this period:
