Chandler Jackson busted
Justin Osborn and Steve Redding for being
in the paper. Justin for being a big producer at his place of business
and was warned not to put Monopoly $$ on the table since he surely had plenty
of real $$. Steve Redding appeared with Bob Dolphin talking about the
benefits of getting our new library built. Steve was not present, perhaps
a fine next week??? THE OLD FARTS TABLE WAS BUSTED FOR REJECTING ONE LADY’S
PRESENCE IN FAVOR OF ANOTHER!!!! Shameful! Happy
