You too can get one of these, if you're retired
Dick Ellers handed out certificates of membership to new attendees to the PD retirees alumni luncheon Friday, Jan. 26, 2007 at Li Wah's on Payne. Notice it's signed by Etaoin Shrdlu, which are the most common letters (in descending order) used in the English Language and what the linotype operators used to fill out a line. And sometimes they forgot to delete the letters so in the hot type days, this became a familiar typo. Anyway, any retiree/ alum, PD groupie , can get one by attending the next lunch on the last Friday in April. Ellers sends out the postcard announcing the time and place and JoAnn Pallant and Janet Beigle French make the arrangements for the lunches. They are the held on the last Friday of January, April, July and October.

Typing correctly is overrated. But thanks for the catch. It's fixed. RK
