To the Editor:
Saw a volume of poems just pub-lished by some International Society. The first poem in this book is by Ethel Worm. Considering that Ethel is 81, and began writing poems seven years ago, you might find this quite a story.
Ethel lives in Cologne. She is Dave Williams and Shirley Hanson's aunt. Thought that Ethel and husband George farmed in the Victoria area at one time, but that could be incorrect.
Jerry Schmieg is my brother in law.

I was just browsing and came upon an article you wrote last December about lutefisk. I am in the hunt for a church or other place within an hour of the western metro area to go to for a Lutefisk Dinner. I am originally from northern Minnesota where, I believe, every church has a Lute-fisk Dinner. My parents just moved to Arizona for their first winter away, so I can't even get together with them. Let me know if you have discovered anywhere to go. Thank you.

We noticed a letter to the editor in the Victoria Gazette saying someone found a dog on the 19th of November. We also noticed a classified ad for a lost dog on the 19th in the Chanhassen Villager that we received today. I know the dog types listed don't match, but it's worth a shot. We're enclosing the phone number of the lost dog's owner. Thank you.

Good morning, Sue. I was just chatting with Jo Mihelich. They have moved to the Crossings in Waconia and are no longer getting the Gazette. I'm enclosing their new address. Thanks a bunch.

I knew that your creative juices would make it great! Our ad in the Christmas Gazette looked great. Thanks for all your help.

Your energy and ideas are important to the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, Sue. We want former Chamber members back and involved. We are missing you and the Hartmans and the Speltzes and others at our monthly meetings. We are working hard to restructure for the coming year.
The Victoria Gazette has a great advertising rate and readership. Would you be interested in me providing the Gazette with a monthly educational column on investment strategies, finan-cial planning, stock ideas, tax strategies, etcetera? It would be purely educational in nature.
I'm still full from the Victoria Lions Christmas Party. I thought the organizers did a great job. Good to see you there. Thanks for your time. Stay warm.

Some weird weather, here. No snow in November. Only a trace in December. No ice makes it easier on us handicapped folks. We hate this weather. Most of the snowbirds must have gone south by now, but one of them still likes to fly around on page 30 in the December Gazette. It must be planning a fishing trip to Lake Minne-tonka with Father Conran Schneider. I spotted the fishhook as usual - on the bird in the General Store of Minnetonka ad. Happy New Year.

Is there a way for me to email Tom Gray's story from your Christmas edition of the Gazette, with the picture of Buddy the Dobermann, to my daughters? Or can they just go to your website and pull it up? I tried to pull it up on your website but could not. In any case, it was a wonderful article. Thank you, Tom Gray.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The online Gazette carries many items in their entirety - including the feature story, editorial, city scoop pages, letters to the editor, fishhook column, notes and quotes, the wonderful area business people, and other good things such as the Archives and Sue's Album! But when it comes to the very prized columns of others, they are briefly summarized online. One is privy to their entirety only by subscribing to the paper edition, such as you do, Mr. MacAlpine. Thank you for your faithful readership.
To the Editor:
Good morning, Sue. I've attached a couple of neat photos our photographer took this weekend at a big winter solstice celebration at Lowry Nature Center, in case you'd be interested in running them in the Gazette.
We had about 80 people show up to celebrate the changing seasons. After writing their worries on a slip of paper indoors, everyone followed Old Man Winter, a 12-foot puppet, to a bonfire. Then everyone tossed their worries into the flames and welcomed back the sun.
Hope you had a great holiday.
