Greetings one and all. I know that some of you have been talking about the HCHS. I wrote to the only person I knew that knew anything about the inner workings of the society. I told her what people were thing (no names) just so she could pass it on to the higher ups to let them know more about what people either want from the HCHS or wish to have. Roberta Munske, the author of this short letter has responded to me and said that I could print it all and keep the names in so that people may contact the society. She spoke to Bob and Brenda, and so they are aware of this. She also said, she thinks they would all love to see a vibrant new group of members ready to take on projects.
