FINING:
Dan started with himself, informing us that his very, very old cat met his demise. Rob Maskrey is baby sitting his daughter’s pet while she & his granddaughter are enjoying the warm climate of Costa Rica. Eric Mesko sang the praises of Charlie’s Shoe Repair on West Main St., He took off his shoe and showed us the great job Charlie did on re-soling them. He buys one pair of quality shoes and just has them re-soled every 2 years. None of the woment care for Charlie---because---if they bring in their heels, he refuses to put on new heels since they are not good for your feet. Mike Frailey seconded Eric;s claim because he too takes his shoes to Charlie all the time. Poor Phil put in a ‘Sad Dollar’ because TAX SEASON is here again. Ed Henning had to pay because he was busy getting people’s signatures on a petition for Mario Scavello who is running for the new Senate seat in PA. Lisa Kirschner can’t believe her oldest will be turning 21 years old on Sunday. Denise Maza is happy for the lovely winter we are having. Also, she said, ‘GO GIANTS’ on Sunday. It was so good to see Michael Geiger again. He gave up smoking and gained 10 lbs. He looked GREAT! Bryan Hill reached in his pocket for fine money and only came up with some lint. Terry Burns is also a Giant Fan. She also went to Charlie and he promised to fix her cowboy boots but made her take her heels back home with her. Judith is looking forward to next year’s Groundhog Day which will fall on a Saturday. She will be at Punxsutawney’s side. Looking for an entire bus load from here. Mark you calendars. Thanks Dan !
