Well, never let it be said that Hatrack doesn't respond to a challenge! A week ago today (Thursday), I received a call from the Navy/Marine Corps Center in Green Bay; they are planning a deployment on Saturday, July 17. Could Hatrack come to entertaine about 53 youngsters, ages 1-19, so the parents can concentratate on instructions? Well, 9 days notice for that age range seemed impossible at first thought. But then I realized how many talented people read, at no charge, and often with short notice, for Hatrack, so I said sure; we'd be there.

After one marathon rehearsal of two programs.......one for the younger kids and one for the older.........these 6 talented readers will be going to Green Bay this Saturday: Chuck Allger, Damon Ryan Cattani, Mary Cattani, Bob Franke, Pam Ford, and Susie Miller, with me tagging along to keep things running. This program is sponsored by the Red Cross, and we are so pleased to be able to do something for our troops.
