The year 2002 is fast coming to an end.
The economy being down and all
the sad things happening around the world, has in my opinion, brought
the Enders Family Association, to a better understanding of what we
stand for. Families are near and dear to each of us. My wife and
I again want to express
our appreciation to the Australian EFA, for the wonderful
hospitality shown us when we attended their reunion last March.
It is my pleasure, to inform the membership that the
U.S. Rreunion was a huge success! Again we had families who
attended for the first time. Your
officers and committees work hard to make the reunion an enjoyable time
for all. Our thanks to Robert Eugene Enders (1-7-5-11-1-1-1), who
donated an oil painting "Headin' for the Bunkhouse"
which was raffled off, with proceeds allocated for the upkeep of the Enders Memorial
Grove.
I received the following article by e-mail
which states a bit of humor and truths of most membership organizations
like ours.
.. " TATER
PEOPLE"
Some people never
seem motivated to participate, but are just content to watch while
others do the work.

They
are called..."Speck Taters".
Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted at finding fault
with the way others do the work. They are called... "Comment
Taters".
Some
people are very bossy and like to tell others what to do, but don't want
to soil their own hands. They are called... "Dick Taters".
Some people are always looking to cause
problems by asking others to agree with them. It is too hot or too cold,
too sour or too sweet. They are called "Aggie Taters".
There are those who say they will help, but
somehow just never get around to actually doing the promised help. They
are called "Hezzie Taters".
Some people can put up a
front and pretend to be someone they are not. They are called
"Emma Taters".
Then there those who love
others and do what they say they will.
They are always prepared to stop whatever they are doing and lend
a helping hand. They bring real sunshine into the lives of others. They
are called "SweetTaters".
If you know any "Sweet Taters", send them this!
