Dear Members,

      Another year begins!  Twenty 03!  We should be in for a good year with the price of oil  hopefully staying high. 

      I am looking forward to this new year as we embark on  the new frontier of the Digital Library.  We had hoped to be on-line by January 1st but it is looking like it will be delayed.  We still are aiming for going “live” within the 1st quarter of 2003. 

     I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new Board to their positions.  I am looking forward to working with everyone and know that we will have a very good year.   Our new President is Tim Pierce, President-Elect is Tom Hansen, Secretary is Ernie Morrison and Treasurer is Mike Maune.  Our  new board member at large is Gus Messinger.   Please join me in thanking these gentlemen for taking the time to serve on our Board of Directors. 

     Other news around the library… the upcoming Banquet will be held on  Friday night, January 24th at 5:30 pm.  I would like to encourage everyone to attend if at all possible.  We have some wonderful entertainment lined up and we are planning on a very fun night.  Wear your dancing shoes!   Please see pages 22 and 23 for more information on the Banquet.  Thank you Doug Davis for putting this party together for us again this year. 

      We will be honoring two gentlemen this year at the Banquet.  Glen Thrasher and Joe Moreland.  Please take some time to read the profiles on these two men on pages 14 and 15.

      I am sad to report that one of our members passed away this past month, Harold Trapp.  Harold was a long time resident of the Landmark Square building and is missed by all of us who were used to seeing him on a daily basis.  We extend our condolences to his family.

      I would like to close by wishing all of you the best of the new year.  May your  prospects find investors!
 

Respectfully submitted,

Rebecca Radford
