The picture you posted for Lyle Olson is actually a picture of Don Olson, my much older brother from the class of 1972.  In addition, I am much better looking than he!  HA!!

Hi,
 
This was taken a couple of years ago.  I think I sent it to you at that time, but I’m not sure about this. 
 
This Christmas Bazaar (My name for it.)  This “bazaar” will be held November 10.  I was unable to attend the bazaar last year, but my two very able “elves” did just fine. :)  I’m not sure if I’ll be there in person this year, either, but my “elves” and my caramels will be there. :)
 
If you can use this picture, please do.  If not, no problem. :)
 
I’ve forgotten who the lady with Carmen is.

When Newfoundlanders get laid off
Paddy and Mick worked together in St. John’s and both were laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. When asked his occupation, Paddy answered, “Panty Stitcher. I sew the elastic onto ladies cotton panties and thongs.” The clerk looked up panty stitcher on his computer and finding it classified as unskilled labor, he gave him $80 a week unemployment pay.
Â
Mick was next and when asked his occupation replied, “Diesel fitter.” Since diesel fitter was a skilledÂ
job, the clerk gave Mick $160 a week.
Â
When Paddy found out he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay. The clerk explained, “Panty Stitchers are unskilled and Diesel Fitters are skilled labor.”
“What skill?” yelled Paddy. “I sew the elastic on theÂ
panties and the thongs. Mick puts them over his head and says: “Yep,Â
diesel fitter!”
