Director’s Message

Recently, while cleaning out some old personal files, my family came across a classic Christmas poem that had been transcribed by my grandmother many years ago. The poem titled, “Jest ‘Fore Christmas” is a 19th century Eugene Field poem that recalls simpler times. The poem’s central character is a boy named William. It is likely that this particular work had caught my grandmother’s attention since her husband and oldest son were both named William.

Now, as we read the yellowed and fragile notepaper that bears our grandmother’s distinctive handwriting, we can recall many fond memories of her and our family, especially during Christmas. With the holidays and busy year-end schedules upon us once again, we invite you to take the time to make special memories with family and friends and to file them in your heart so that you may easily find them in the future.

To all of our readers, friends, and associates throughout the world, please accept a heartfelt thank you for everything that you do for us all year long. May your holidays be filled with peace and joy and your New Year with good health and happiness.
