This newsletter is late because the Editor has been in Fairfax Hospital since December2 through 11 for emergency abdominal surgery. She is at home recovering. Meanwhile the assistant editor was working slowly on the Newsletter in between hospital visits and caregiving responsibilities. Arlene Mauceri, a former long time member of the NCC and dear friend of many members, has passed away. Lorraine Lasch fell and injured her leg (fortunately no breaks), her son has a blood clot on his leg (being treated with meds) and husband Frank fell on the ice and mangled his finger. Ann Davis has successfully recovered from a severe bout of vertigo Diane Crean is awaiting test results to determine if skin cancer has returned. Please keep all these friends and their families in your thoughts and prayers, ad let s hope the downhill slide is over Thanks to Diane Crean, on pages 7-10 is a listing of chain stores and which Americana.colors they carry. Regards. Marie and John It s not what you look at that matters, it s what you see Thoreau
