GAZETTE

February 2012

To the Editor:

         Your unique publication gives many people pleasure.  You may find the attached comments about "Things to Treasure" enjoyable reading ...

         "I grew up in the fifties with practical parents -- a mother, God bless her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it, and a father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones.

         "They weren't poor, my parents, they were just satisfied.  It was a time for fixing things -- a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress.  Things you keep.  It was a way of life, refixing, reheating, renewing.

         "But then my father died, and on that clear autumn night, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes what you care about most gets all used up and goes away, never to return."

To the Editor:

         Greetings to all golfers.  I'm writing this from Florida.  No, I'm not involved in the political primary going on down here, though I was in South Carolina last week when the primary was happening there, too.  Sort of weird being constantly bombarded with political ads everywhere I go.

         On a much nicer note, I've been in Orlando for the Merchandiser's Convention and the PGA Show.  This has been the liveliest show since 9/ 11.  Something good is going on and I think I know what it is.  It's youth.

         People in their 20's and 30's are running golf companies and bringing an energy and excitement that has been much needed.  Unlike the worn-out political rhetoric that I've been listening to, these kids are bringing fresh ideas, enthusiasm, and confidence to the golf business.

         I  can't wait to show you what we've bought for the Pro Shop.  We're plugging into this youthful resurgence.  I can feel it's going to be a great year.

Hey, Mom.  Did you get a picture of Lil's Diner on Main Street Tioga when you were here?  That's why Chris and I each have four-wheel drive pickup trucks.  It's what people drive out here.  We wouldn't feel safe in a normal car, and cars wouldn't easily survive this kind of life.  Thank you for coming and helping.  Love you.
