• True?  "My children didn't have my advantages; I was born into abject poverty."  Issur Danielovitch (1916 – present)         Issur Danielovitch was born in Amsterdam, New York, son to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents from Gomel, now part of Belarus, and grew up selling snacks to mill-workers to earn enough to buy bread and milk for his family.  Somehow he made it to Hollywood, where he changed his name to Kirk Douglas.  Tuesday he will be 92 years old.

Thanks so much for making our 4th Anniversary Brunch special, for the food, for the family, and for the blood donations.  We had 15 successful donors and the blood people were grateful. 

• Our Christmas family: mom, 3 little girls, and a baby boy on the way.  Date to finish: Dec. 14, this Sunday.  Beth says we have just about everything needed.  

• In case you missed our blood drive, this from Mary Ellen Munzell:                                       There is a woman in Plano, Alyse Ferguson, who I believe resides on Turnbil.  She is undergoing chemotherapy, has had more surgeries than expected and other troublesome health issues in her family.  Currently her bill for blood alone is in the $7,000 range.  No specific blood type is required.   Anyone who is making a donation to Carter Blood Care just needs to specify that Ms Ferguson be given credit for the donated blood.

• Jackie Ritter's friend, just laid off by Everest College, is job searching.  Has a masters in library science.  Any leads?  Contact:    jritter@unitedrenovations.com
