Curopcan Vacation
Local women enjoy visit to London and Paris

Europe is missing out. Dr
Pepper is basically non-existent
over-seas and three local
women found this out the hard
way. For nine days. Sharon
McNutt. Linda Briscoe and
Lucille Briscoe went without
their daily fix of Dr Pepper
while visiting London and Paris.
“London was incredibly
busy and crowded. There was
tons of traffic and people on the
streets and subways, which they
call the tube." Lucille Briscoe
said.
The trio arrived in London,
through an American Airlines
special, on Sept. 13 and spent
six days touring sites such as the
Tower of London (where the
Crown Jewels are located), St.
Pauls Cathedral, Stonehenge.
Cantebury. the White Cliffs of
Dover and Dover Castle.
Other sites visited included a
cruise on the River Thames, and
English Pub lunch. Oxford,
Statford, Warwick Castle.
Shakespeare's Stratford, Oxford
and the London Eye.
"Warwick Castle was the
most interesting place we visit-
ed.” Briscoe said. “It was fully
furnished in furniture from that
front door, there was a full wax
figure of Princess Diana. It
looked like she could have
reached out and touched us."
A tour bus would pick the
women took the Euro-Star to
Paris from London, which is a
31-mile long tunnel under the
English Channel.
While in Paris, the group
STONEHENGE- Dubliners. Lucille Briscoe, Linda Briscoe and Sharon McNutt stand in front of
Stonehenge. The trio, along iwth Lucilile’s older sister Barbara and her sister-in-law. Mabeline, spent
six days in London and one day in Paris, from Sept. 13 to the 21st.

ures dressed in that day and age.

women up every morning and
take them to the different loca-
tions.
“The English food was pret-
ty good. We didn't try a lot of
different foods. A lot of restau-
rants have ‘fish and chips' and
you can buy a coke for $3. in a
small glass, with two ice-
cubes,'' Briscoe laughed.
“However, they don’t have any
Dr Pepper."
According to Brisco, a yield
sign in England is “Give Way"
and an exit sign is simply called
Way Out.”
After touring the London
area for six days, the group of

toured the Eiffel Tower and the
Palace of Versaille.
“The palace was beautiful.
There was one room that was
full of chandeliers. It was amaz-
ing. We also found out what the
difference is between palaces
and castles. Palaces are larger
and are more elaborate."
Another difference Briscoe
noticed was that "the English
drive on the wrong side of the
road, but speak English and the
French drive on the right side of
the road and don't speak any
English."
The group ate at a sidewalk
cafe' in Paris, where they
ordered omelletes.
“The waiters didn’t speak
English and the menu was in
French. The only thing we rec-
ognized was ‘omelette’,”
Briscoe said.
“There are no pick-ups or
SUV’s in Europe. There isn’t
any room for them. The sub-
ways were completely packed
amd we were smooshed in there
like sardines,” Briscoe said,
adding, “ Their taxi cabs can
hold about three people. They
also have a car called the ‘Smart
Car' which can hold two people.
It doesn’t even have a trunk.”
Although glad to be home,
the women enjoyed their
European vacation. Briscoe is
looking forward to returning to
Europe in hopes of visiting
Ireland.

Office in Morgan Mill.
EPISODE 1. HOSTILE TAKE OVER.
CLEARANCE
Let’s team up
for hunger
Hunting season is fast
approaching, and it's time for
hunters to decide what to do
with their game meat.
For over a decade, Texas
hunters have used their skills to
help combat hunger through the
Hunters for the Hungry (HFTH)
program. Last year, Texas
hunters and meat processors
partnered to donate a record
breaking 119,000 pounds of
meat, which was distributed to
food banks and food pantries
statewide.
While efforts to promote and
expand HFTH have led to a 30%
increase in donations since the
2001-2002 hunting season, there
is still an enormous need to sup-
ply meat to food assistance
providers facing shortages. In
Texas, nearly 15% of families
don’t know where their next
meal will come from.
The success of HFTH
depends on the combined efforts
of hunters, meat processors, and
food assistance providers.
Hunters take their legally har-
vested deer, hog, or other wild
game to participating meat
processors, who process and
package the donated meat for a
nominal fee to cover basic costs.
Meat processors then notify
local food banks, food pantries,
and emergency feeding sites,
which distribute the meat to
families in need.
Trail Boss Meat Company in
Dublin was involved with
HFTH as a participating meat
processor last season. By donat-
ing time and services, this
processor has helped to provide
local needy families with a high
quality source of protein.
Recipients of meat from HFTH
can attest to the need for the pro-
gram and the benefit it provides
to their clients.
Any volunteer organizations,
processors, or hunters interested
in donating or working with
HFTH can contact Janet
Leubner of TACAA at 800/992-
9767, ext. 206.
The Texas Association of
Community Action Agencies
(TACAA), with funding from
the Texas Department of
Housing and Community
Affairs, provides outreach and
coordination efforts for the
Hunters for the Hungry pro-
gram.
Bill Smithie (Dodge Sales Manager), and Mike Allen (GM Sales Manager) decided to take over the dealership so they could meet
their October goals. Greg Bruner clearly has his own thoughts about this. Will they manage to take over? Will they reach their
goal? Will Greg’s eys fall out of his head? Tune in next time, or come see Mike or Bill at the BRUNER *03 CLEARANCE to find out.
