FROM VAL...
I'd like to give a special thank you to all who helped in
the kitchen and serving for the Pow wow. I would like
to name each one, but I'm afraid I might miss someone.
Also thanks for all the fantastic desserts that were
brought in and to Ariine Mathews, the school cook, who
always does more than her share. And last but not
least, a big thank you to my family who helped me so
much and put up with me. While I was getting things
ready.
I think the 1987 Pow wow was a great success.
Thanks and Love to you all,
Val Grout
