A short while ago you all received a letter from Prexy Buck Scott concerning the minireunion to be held in Williamsburg. It certainly sounds like it's going to be a fantastic time, giving you all the chance to visit Colonial Williamsburg as well as get together with old friends. I just got off the phone with Herb Knight, and he informs me that to date he has reservations from Messrs. Hoeppner, Dilks, Choukas, Scott, Ryan, Bovaird, Bernhard, Brown, Knight, and yours truly. If you haven't sent in your reservation, do so right away, as the number of rooms reserved is limited. Herb has really done a great job of putting this weekend together and is hoping as many of you as possible will attend. If you have any questions concerning this weekend, contact Herb Knight directly at 10 Lookout Circle, Newport News, Va. 23606. See you in Williamsburg, October 10-12.

Old newsletter editors don't die, they just fade away and write for other publications. JoeSpound recently did a piece for the SouthernMarket Preview and Shopping Planner, a furniture business publication. The main direction of the article was that consumers in these times of ever-rising prices are going to demand more quality for their money: "... in these times of inflation and limited travel opportunities, quality will rank first in the decision-making of purchasing for the home." I think most of you will agree with this statement. The era of planned obsolescence has just become too expensive and we therefore must get more quality for our dollar.
