UPDATE
I'M B-A-A-A-ACK!
   If Carl Tenning can print his picture, I guess I can too! You may not have recognized me at first (we're trying to find a more recent photograph). But yes, it's your editor gettin' some book learnin' a few years back!

   My thanks to Carl for filling in while we attended several reunions back east--high school and former working compadres. Now that you've had a taste of it, Carl, maybe you're up for more while I go visit more old friends while they and I are still around.

   Perhaps there are other budding editors among our ranks as well, just itching try their hand at the monthly newsletter. If so let us know and we'll arrange to take more time off! Certainly we are always looking for articles by our members--or even just a question that can be answered or a commentary on how you use your computer.
TOG Officers Elected
   Continuing a TOG tradition of simple elections Ray Mills will continue as President for anothe year. Others continuing in their roles are Tom Stepanek as Librarian, Bob Thomson as Newsletter Editor and Harold Broomell as Expediter getting the newsletter printed and mailed. Sandee Gimblett was elected to fill the roles of Vice President/Program Chairperson and Secretary/Treasurer when David Rowe and Bob Henkel declined re-election.

Programs Needed.
You Can Help!

   No, no! Don't just breathe a sigh of relief and sit back for another year while someone else presents you with good meeting programs. Sandee Gimblett needs your help with ideas for meeting program subjects and experts or members--not necessarily mutually exclusive--to present them. Sandee will lead by example at the August meeting with a repeat of her presentation on interfacing her computer with her automated sewing machine to do embroidery and quilting. What do you have to offer? Sandee wants to lnow!

Chock Full O' Tips
   Like most of our issues this one is full of good tips and interesting articles. Most of them are from other user groups, and we appreciate that they have been generous enough to make them available through newsletter exchange or on the Internet. Let's get writing and share some of our expertise with them and each other
