Congratulations, and have a great time, Elyra! NEWS * ACHIEVEMENTS | almost wish [| was ten years old again. If | was ten I'd hang onto my father and bug him until. he shelled out $4.00 to buy a Giant Christmas Colouring Book from Gail Mitchell. Then {'d grab my tin full of crayons and go to town. Unfortunately, now that |'m a Grown Up with $4 in my pocket, 1 don't have any more excuse for colouring in colouring books so | have’ to buy them for my pint sized relatives and watch with envy. *sigh* At any rate, if you're in the same boat as | am or if you have small re- latives who are crazy about colouring, get in touch with Gail at local 382.

From what | understand, the medication for hemophil- ia is extremely expensive which makes a lousy situation even worse, but don't take my word for it -- ask Gail. Her son Chris- topher, age 7, is a Hemophiliac, so she knows all about it. On a more cheerful tack, though, it must be nice to have a lot in common with royalty...
