have more than doubled revenues, profits, and shareholder value. Mark led this successful effort, assembled our superb
management team for the future and delivered on his promise to return our company to its leadership position."
"There could be no better partner for me than John Paloian as we undergo the leadership transition. John brings an outstanding depth of management experience and industry expertise to this role," said Mr. Quinlan. "John is a proven resultsproducer who is respected throughout the industry for his strong background in sales and operations. He is also a great

(The food sales through Bertsch Vending has been down since we have fewer Donnelley Employees, so therefore
the amount of money for outside activities is cut back.)
Sam Brown asked how many attended the Christmas Party and about 60% present said they did, but hardly anyone
went camping the Picnic weekend. Next month he wants to discuss the idea of donating money toward the
Christmas Party to offset some of its expense.
Mary Rock was ill with the flu so there was no Treasurer report this month.
Ethel Secor brought in an article on Medicare D for anyone interested to read. The end of March is the
deadline on making changes for this year.
There were six birthday persons this month - Ann Reuter, Dorothy Cumberland, Bob Farrington,

myself to the hospital because of shortness of breath.
As it turns out, I had multiple pulmonary embolisms and was lucky
to be alive. It greatly diminished my
lung capacity, and I am not take
“blood thining” meds. As I recovered, we realized my health
required that we move out of “Big
Snow Country.” In February, we
took a 2 week vacation and stumbled onto Marriott’s Resort in Palm
Desert, California. We liked the climate and scenery so much that we
decided to move there. We live in a
gated resort community for active

I am playing golf and softball and
am doing a lot of hiking with a hiking club. However, my wife’s brother and family are only 1-1/2 hours

much new going on here in San

severe drought and can water our
parched lawns only once a week, and
shower only with a friend, a really

it is very dry and if El Nino doesn’t
come through with some rain water in
the near future, we will be in real trouble. Nancy and I are doing a bit of

Antarctic in January ’07 and hope to
be dancing with the “Happy Foot(ed)”

Going to the Antarctic was my idea
and in order to get Nancy to go, I had
to agree to take here to Paris. This is

are going to Paris in May. That’s about

Another great
Retiree’s Newsletter, Thanks.
Seeing Ann & Al
Moorman celebrating their 60th
Anniversary was wonderful.
Charles Michelsen was a fair man
to all who worked in the Pressroom. I caught many trout in the
White River. Charlie Rosenfelder
was perhaps the fairest, his smile
never left. May God bless you all.
Stay healthy U Hear!
Going on 87 years.

I think 2007
Donnelley will be
in Lancaster for
49 years. I wish more from
Lancaster would write into the
Club. I retired at the end of 1991.
( Take heed for what this man says.)

After retirement, I
traveled everywhere I wanted to
go including an
16 day Mediterrainem cruise. I
wanted to stay active after 10 years
of retirement and wanted to work
again. I am now a employed as a
learning support aide for special
education and regular students on a
part time basis. I also work at an
after school child center part time. I
love this work. I wanted something
different from what I had already
done and this is very different.I am
also very active in Red Rose City
chapter Sweet Adelines, here in
Lancaster. Chapter member for 46
years. We are an award winning
chorus of 60 women and rehearse
every Monday night for 3 hours. I
am also a member of the Red Hat
Society here in town. I have a very
full plate and love it. Hope to be
doing these things many years from
now. I also volunteer at a local hospital. (I’m tired writing all this stuff
down, Good for you.......)

Here’s a page I
found from the
March-April
1964 edition of
the Lakeside Review. The article
and the pictures were of people in
the Chicago Division that were
doing some form of continuing
education.

A big thank you to all of the past
and present officers of the LPREC.
A special thank you to the Editor
for making each issue of the
Newsletter better than the last one.
After already enjoying fourteen
years of retirement, I often think of
how fortunate we were to have
Company policies that provided us
with medical and retirement benefits. For everyones sake let’s hope
future changes and controls on
medical expense will start to stabilize. Our health remains good. We
continue to enjoy travel, community activities and watch our three
grandchildren mature. Since reaching the 70’s I’ve noticed a marked
increase in friends celebrating their
50th wedding anniversary. I’m
looking forward to celebrating our
own in 2008. To all our Donnelley
friends we wish you all continued
good times. Come and visit us anytime in the heart of Shenannoah
Valley. Bob & Sharon
