It's that busy time of year so let's get right to it. Last Thursday night the Commodore John Barry Division #1 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians held their installation of officers for the upcoming year. Congratulations to these fine men who will lead the division in 2007. Having the honor of serving the division in the past I can tell you that it is a thankless job, so the rest of the membership remember to help. When you receive a call from one of your officers try saying yes every once in a while.



The officers are.
Dave Cummings President
Paul O'Donnell Vice President
Rob Przedwiecki Recording Secretary
Chris Bergman Financial Secretary
Emmet Kelleher Treasurer
Jeff Carney Marshall
Chris Templin Sentinel
The Honorable Richard Sheldon Chair. Standing Committee
A round of applause for these fine men.


Annual pagan bonfire celebrating the winter solstice will be held on Sunday December 17 at the home of our chieftain. Dave promises no rams heads on post this year.

I heard a rumor the other night and I don't know how true it is, but The Quinn's are planning on bringing in a couple of new Quinns each month until they have the votes to move the division to Johnstown. Like I said I don't know how true this is but when it happens remember you heard it here first.

Home Made Theater's production of Alice in Wonderland opened Friday night. This adaptation of Lewis Carrol's classic tale takes place in the 1970's complete with disco balls and costumes, at one point the entire cast dances the Hustle. The show runs next weekend, Friday night, two shows on Saturday and a Sunday afternoon show. If you grew up in the 70's it's a great flashback for you. Keep an eye out for the Knight played by Michael Curran.

Let's Find Steve a Wife



Here's the game everyone loves to play. At this point almost every player has been sent home with a consolation prize but for your enjoyment I will give everyone the chance to vote in the comments section on who they would choose to be Steve's Wife.


1) Galina This Beauty is from Ukraine. Fell in love with Steve on the first e-mail. The third e-mail was returned by the translation company. Galina's contract had run out and they asked if I would like to pay the $180 a month for unlimited e-mails to her.

2) Olga Moscow is the home of this lovely young thing. Fell in Love with Steve early on. her only wish was to be with him. Loved him, loved him, loved him,could not live without him. Could not come up with airfare either. wanted $700 to cover expenses.

3) Natalia This poor country dentist had plans to come and work in this country. Fell in love right away with Steve. Went to Moscow to pay for her trip. The big city was very scary for this poor young thing. On her way to the agency to pay for the trip She was robbed on the subway of all her money, $1200. She still had $500 back at her room, to buy gifts for Steve so she only need $700 more.

4) Victoria a lovely girl who would never ask Steve for money. Plans on arriving in Boston on December 12. having a bit of a set back. the friend that she was going to borrow the money from had a car wreck and the friends husband says the money has to be spent on repairs. What should poor Victoria do?


5) Susan Wallace London is the home of this beauty. After 45 minutes of instant messaging knew in her heart that Steve was the one for her. No money for visa and airfare. trying to find a way. Hey her uncle is a US Marine in Iraq. He can't send money to London but can send it to the US. If I send her the money he will reimburse me.


6) Gloria/Naomi her name keeps changing on each e-mail. Gloria is playing a game all her own. She's from Ohio, a native American ( you can tell by the pale skin color). She met a man on line and went to meet him in Nigeria, that's in Africa ( in case I'm real stupid) He checked her into a hotel, left and never returned. The next day she was informed of a tragic accident and the man did not survive. She cried and cried and cried and, well you get the point. When she went to leave the hotel a few days later she was told she had to pay the bill. not having any money or family to turn to she is asking Steve's help because he is a warm and loving man. At the end of her long and tragic e-mail the last line said that she could send photos if Steve wanted them. After sending a dozen photos and a dozen more e-mails pleading for Steve's help Steve sent an e-mail scolding her for praying on peoples good nature yadda yadda yadda. Mike added to the end of the e-mail, "send more photos"


7) Irina new to the game. Hasn't asked for anything as of Saturday's e-mail.


8) Natasha yes she's a bit older than the rest but she still looks good. For some reason will not answer my e-mails. I just want to hear her whisper in my ear "Moose and squirrel"


Well that's it for now boys let's hear your votes.
