A
Note From Greg
A
Note From Russ
Hey
there,
its me…..
As
I
assume you are aware and hopefully noticed, we took the
summer off
from writing this newsletter called the ‘Squamidian
Report’. Our
last official issue was at the end of May. I had
indicated that we
would pole the people on our mailing list to see if
anyone was still
interested in receiving this letter and in being
somewhat involved in
this letter if we were to possibly start back up at the
end of the
summer. At the time there was a surprising response in
favor of
continuing. (And yes, I remember who all was involved in
that
conversation). At least it took me by surprise because
it had started
to feel like Greg and Russ and I were simply writing to
ourselves. In
the interim, Greg and Russ and I have chatted back and
forth and have
agreed that it would be a shame to let a 20 yr tradition
fall by the
wayside but at the same time if there is not sufficient
interest,
there would therefore be no sense in flogging a dead
horse, so to
speak.
So,
with
that in mind, this letter is being sent out to each name
on our
mailing list to find out who is still on board. There
are 2
requirements to agreeing to be on what would be the
‘new’ mailing
list.
1:
You
MUST reply to say you would like to continue receiving
this
letter. I will not assume anyone wants to be no matter
who you are.
We need to hear from you.
2:
You
MUST agree to be somewhat involved on a regular basis,
preferably
by contributing, but failing that, at least responding
to what others
have written as often as possible.
If
I
do not hear from you by the end of the month, you will
be dropped
from the list and will not receive future family
newsletter issues.
(You could of course be put back on at a later date
simply by
indicating a desire to be and agreeing to the terms).
Greg
and
Russ and I have not yet decided on what would constitute
a
‘minimum’ number of subscribers, a number large enough
to make it
feel worth while for us and others to put in the effort
of coming up
with ‘something’ each week. If enough of you indicate a
desire to
continue and to be involved, we won’t have to bicker
over what that
threshold would be.
Should
we
decide to continue, we would start back up for the first
Saturday
of September. So, lets see who all we hear from, because
lets face
it, it would be nice to keep this thing going.

A
Note From Greg
Thanks
to
all who did participate over the years and if we restart
this fall
please keep your promises to be involved!
Doug,
Russ
and I do enjoy writing but not to an empty audience!
Hope
to
talk to you all again for sure in September!
Sincerely…Greg

A
Note From Russ
Further
to
Doug's letter - actually there is no further as
Doug has
laid it all out in plain language and covered all bases.
Personally,
I
hope we carry on with the Great Squamidian Report - it
may be
selfish of me, but I enjoy communicating with you each
Saturday
morning. I don't get to visit any of you, so hearing
from you
once-in-a-while is encouraging, and a real treat. Please
don't
deprive me of this.
Uncle
Russ
