These Proceedings were provided to me. They were scanned some time back and some are hard to read. But they are readable for the most part. If anyone has a copy of the Proceedings these year's that they would photograph (or have someone that will photograph them) so that the information is more readable I would greatly appreciate them doing this and sending the copy to me. The early books are very fragile and I would not try to scan. Jack York Webmaster Grand Chapter of Texas O.E.S. 7407 Dreyfuss Dr. Amarillo, TX 79121 yorkja@suddenlink.net

To those ·whose homes. ha\·e thus been entered., we extend our wunnc:'it symrathy.
