Fellow Retirees,

Well, we complained about how cold it was last winter, and we complained about how much rain we were receiving and our complaints were heard. It is hot and dry!! Lest I mislead you the humidity is another story. It is high, even up here in Tyler. We are almost 300 miles from the Gulf but the humidity has followed me here.

Please join me in wishing our member Mr. Roy J Ricks a very happy birthday. He will be 102 this year. He has been a member of Global for 10 years and for several years before that a member of the CRA Western Slope Chapter in Grand Junction, CO. As you will see in WHO IS DOING WHAT he still lives alone and takes life as it comes. HAPPY BIRTHDAY – ROY!!

The new CRA website is very colorful and works better on the common handheld devices many people use today. Many of the links on our Global Affiliate website have been updated to accommodate your use of the new CRA website. We will continue to search for ways to make our website convenient for you.

We have one new member, John Calzonetti, Chevron, joined in June. Please join me in welcoming him to the group.

Regards,   

Glenn Ewan
