A Letter from the Director

Friday, August 2 - at 1:00 PM

This month features Don Cygan, a Parker history teacher who served the U.S. Army in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. Don has a passion for World War II and recently published his first book, No Silent Night - The Christmas Battle for Bastogne, which he will discuss at our August meeting. All are invited.

Maxine McDonald at 303.660.1682

Not much to say this month and no suggestions in the Suggestion

Box to talk about, so I thought I would share my favorite quote

and a short story with you. I hope you have a wonderful August!

Before being famous, Peyton was the Army Chief of Staff in WW I. He

re-organized it to include the Air Corps, which later became the USAF.

- Terry

The Starfish Story

A young girl was walking along a beach upon which

thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible

storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up,

and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with

amusement. She had been doing this for some time when

��á�ò��á��

��ë��è��ï��

��ä��ï��

��èó

The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few

moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and

hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked

up at the man and replied, ò��á��èó

The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about

what she had done and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in

throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined, and all the

starfish were saved.

responses heard upon seeing a castle right here in Douglas County.

When you go on a CRSC trip, you never

know what will happen!!?? Flexibility is

key when we get out in our state.

Thanks to driver Gene - and

Terry and Debbi who came

to the rescue and drove the

smaller buses up the

mountain, white knuckles

for all!! It was worth it, as

we were away from the fires

with spectacular views!!
