50th Merit Mark Celebration!

50 Merit Mark Celebration

 

Dec 6, 2018

At our recent AGM in Ottawa I received my 50th Merit Mark, and was really overwhelmed by the reception this got from my CPS-ECP friends. I had hardly realized as the years went by, that they were adding up to this event, and it really proved to be a fun and happy occasion. Thanks to everyone who joined in the celebration, and in the gift I was presented with. Special thanks to Pauline Wettlaufer and Nancee Adams for their extreme thoughtfulness, and to USPS friend Jane Malatak for giving such a helping hand. I couldn’t be more appreciative, and more certain that the time spent with you all in our Organization was and is the most valuable to me.

Thanks so much, Doreen Hinksman

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
