entertained all of us. She was
precious.
I think Miss Luanne and Miss
De should be applauded for the
work they did with these young
ladies. They were wonderful.
Thanks ladies.

her help in all of the preparing for
this. She did a great job.

"The newsletter this year is the best yet. It
is very informative with great pictures. Our
thanks goes to all who had a part in putting
it together. Any and everyone who has ever
been a part of Dublin should see the
Historical Museum (and become a
member). They would find it interesting
and so well done. Even non-Dublinites
who visit the museum are impressed with
it and cannot believe such a small town can
have a museum of such interest. Thanks to
the Yantis' (who have made a difference),
all the volunteers, and each of you who
help keep Dublin moving forward."
