[PRCo] Surprise In Today's Mail

Sun Dec 15 17:42:15 EST 2013

Also, several weeks ago there was some interest in "boat traffic" on the
three rivers here. The front cover of the 2014 calendar has a good
painting, by Mary Lois Verilla of course, of a tow boat and barges on the
Mon River. It is attached for your edification and enjoyment.

Also, so as not to slight them, the 2014 calendar is a cooperative venture
between the boroughs of Brentwood and Whitehall. I forgot to mention
Whitehall. Of course, I have yet to actually find the Borough of Whitehall.
I'm sure it's somewhere around here. I usually go toward the city and not
the suburbs in my travels. The suburbs tend to be very dull and traffic
ridden.
