    3. I worked with Sue and Jay way back in the day. It is true that they did took care of the Bulletin. My job was to type (on a typewriter) all the mailing labels for each member. I kept them in a book and when it was time to mail the bulletin, Sue and Jay would swing by my house to pick up the labels. I was a stay at home mom with a little baby and Sue had found a way for me to be involved from home. They were wonderful for GFO and Jay will be missed.

Ruth wrote to me: They are/were the geniuses behind the Bulletin. From mimeo to Linda to Doris, they fixed all my mistakes. Sue even corrected the mimeo. The proof-reading of mimeo was impossible for me because of the smell. Jay did all the printing even when he had so much leg problems. I might have been one of the few who knew. Ruth Bishop Judy sent me this info for those that haven't found it yet: Jay and Sue were stalwarts of the Forum in the 70s and on when they were the printers of the Bulletin. Both great people, I will miss Jay. Mountain View Cemetery is located at 1113 Caveness Drive, Centrailia, Washington. 11 AM graveside service, Monday Nov 7.
