Boand, and recited at the social Friday night, will apply to Mr. and P.Irs. Malmsten for their hosts of friends in Gunnison: Gunni-son: THE MALMSTENS By Arthur V.' Boand. We've met to say good-by, folks, To the Malmstens 'ere' they part; We've met to say God-speed, friends, From the bottom of our hearts. We've come to feel the Malmstens Are among our very best, We've come to know and love them For their talent and the rest. We know Roy's a go-getter From his head unto his toes, A business man without a peer, Who'll succeed where'er he goes. We know" that Grace is a musician, j Well-known throughout the state; Who wins her way where'er she goes, A pleasure to relate. Now Roy's a real Mason, And every inch a man; We're glad he's been a master, We've done the best we can. We hate to lose the Malmstens, Neither tongue nor pen can tell Just how we're loathe to give them up, Tho', of course, we wish them well. So it's so-long, Roy, and so-long Grace, Good-bye, good luck, success! Were'er your business takes you hence, We'll claim you none-the-less. |
