June 2011 Anniversaries

[Clark]

For many of us, June draws us to thoughts of many of the rituals of modern society, weddings, graduations from high school and college, summer holidays for the K-12 crowd.  For us, there is no seasonal clustering, little societal recognition, and only one home that we know of for regular, thoughtful contemplation of our actions in the company of our peers.  Whether you are celebrating or mourning, new or a veteran of many years, welcome.  We who have trod this path alone can now remember it together.  Best wishes, all.

All of you with anniversaries in the first week of June, I'm so sorry to be late this month!  Please all, anyone can do this, jump in if I'm late.  I just started a new job on the 1st, so I plead distraction.  Remember, June 14th is World Blood Donor Day!
