Here’s a tidbit, Sue. In Greek mythology, Nike was the goddess of victory. Nike fought on the side of the Olympian gods, gaining a victory over the mighty Titans. As a result, she became a symbol of winning. But Nike’s alleged powers were not just limited to victory in warfare.

She also became a favorite goddess of athletes on their quest for victory in competitive sports. The Romans adopted her into their worship and gave her the Latin name Victoria. Victory to Victoria!

I hope you enjoyed your trip to see your daughter and her family. I bet you saw a lot of great fall colors from the train. Here is our ad for the November issue of the paper. Have a happy fall and a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Is it possible to purchase two copies of your September 2009 issue of the Gazette? My friend appears on page 26 and I’d like to give his family a few keepsakes. Please let me know any costs. Thank you very much.
