ONE DAY AT A TIME

     Please be patient with me. I'm still in a recovery period from last Saturday's big event.
     I, the Kornerman, do want to make this report.
     Because of YOUR generosity, on my behalf, their will be some big smiles forthcoming as checks are received at some wonderful local charities. I went to the bank yesterday, got some checks made up and mailed.
     The Boone Area Humane Society, the Boone Schools Foundation and the Boone High Booster Club will receive some pretty hefty assistance while the Ericson Public Library, the Iowa Arboretum and the Boone Hope Foundation will also benefit.
     I thank all of you for them.

     We'll try to get back on a "normal" schedule Wednesday. In the meantime, I'm going to take another catch-up nap.
