Refocus That Please - by Mike Griffith

Last month's meeting was a great showing of some interesting and rare viewmaster reels. I think we sometimes forget how really neat some of these reels can be. The one I had of the "Laugh In" (the old

group) was thoroughly enjoyed and laughed at by most of us. Many of us don't quite see them as "old", but they are and I guess we need to adjust.

Next meeting is Friday, March 9th at the Congregational Church. IT IS COMPETITION NIGHT, so bring or send in your treasured views. This might be our last competition night till after summer, so you want to get to it now. Hope to see you there.

Remember, the meeting is Friday, March 9^th at 7:30 at the Congregational Church. The church is at 2676 Clairmont Road (about 1 1/2 blocks south of I-85). We meet in whatever room is open. The church has been very busy on recent meeting nights.
