Kudos Department

The following was reported to me by Vice-President Margaret McAlister: I popped into the ofce one day during our usual rainstorm to see how Susie was doing, and to my horror saw water running out of the ceiling light in her ofce.I sputtered: What's with the water coming out of this light? Susie replied good-naturedly: Sometimes that happens when it rains. I replied that we rather liked her and were not interested in her being electrocuted any time soon, and I would see what I could do about this. John Bost, who had already supplied some names of roofers, obtained 4 estimates for the roof repair with lightening rapidity. Zoltan cheerfully dried the roof the day before the workers came. This was all accomplishedwithin 3 weeks. The bid went to a company called Palm Roong; fortunately they do not use palm leaves in their repairs. So at present writing, our ofce is snug and dry.
