Happy belated birthday to Doug Clark, his birthday August l0.

Helen Phillips has been really busy. She spent some time visiting her sisters at their cottage on Cayuga Lake. Her sister Betty is from Maryland and Shirley is from Spencerport. The three went to Casino Niagara. Helen said they had left all their money to help out the Canadians. Helen's son, David, and his family came up to visit during the summer for l0 days. Babies do grow awfully fast, don't they? Helen's been working at the Sodus Point visitor's center a couples days a week and volunteering at the Sodus Point Lighthouse. Stop in and ask her directions sometime. (I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yourself, Helen.)

Speaking of the Lighthouse, the Rochester Scottish Pipe Band will be playing for your enjoyment on Sunday, August 20 at beautiful Sodus Point.
