Show The Payson Chronicle, February 9, 1994, Page 20 Obituaries READ TO SUCCEED NEWS The Read to Succeed Board of Directors met in December and January. The major events thus far are as follows: 1. Myla Dutton of Community Action in Provo came and addressed the Board about literacy boards. The main idea of her talk was what funding literacy boards receive; where do we get our money? Utah State Office of Education, JTPA, and the United Way were all named. The biggest supplier is the federal government, whose money may go to the library who then distributes the funds to us - hence the importance of establishing liability. The City Council bears the ultimate responsibility for our organization.1 Dutton stressed that literacy boards must be proactive; we need to define what our powers actually are. 2. Consideration and Election of new board members Jual Daniels, Lynne OLarey, Barbara Roper and Wesley Roper were all nominated and unanimously approved to become new board members. They will serve three-ye' terms. 3. Thank-You- s to resigning board members Read to Succeed would like to thank Vickie Wheeler and Jeanette Callaway for their faithful service to Read to Succeed.

Who on special occasions, or when so moved, Might take a little nip. But never to excess of course, Cause grandma would surely not approve. Not really caring how fast he went. And in the dark, he didnt see the fence. He fell, heels over head. Right into that old sows bed. She grunted low, and on her side. She didnt seem to care, , . That grandpa snuggled up to her, And laid himself right there. , Well, it seems that sometimes he could find A jug of wine Stashed in the bin For just such a time. - , . - . i . ' ' : t , - He didnt seem to care a bit As he sat right down to have another sip. But soon the sun was setting low, And grandpa knew that he must go. . She seemed so warm and soft. He reached his arm across her side. 1 And so on this summers day He was hot and dry from hauling hay. He took the jug and after several drinks Strolled down by the creek to set and think. He toasted spring and summers rain. He drank to this and that. r And as he stooped to clear a limb. He lost his old felt hat.' ; ' . And soon was feeling up and down stuck to her hide. The little knobs . . f, i ,r . i Now in his drunken state,' ' He laid right there to contemplate A thing that just seemed out of place. ' . And so he whispered in her ear, "Weve been married over forty years, my ,deaV And all these years of messin round, , didnt realize'you had two rows of bu- 1 ttons, r On your old nightgown."
