Love the new look of The Dead Beat.  Also thank you for the chuckles.  I pass along a joke to start every Lions Club meeting and The Dead Beat comes to the rescue every time!  ….Came across this and thought it was cute:  A gentleman told me that his father told me that if we wanted to live a long life, he should sprinkle a little gunpowder on his cereal in the morning.  The gentleman did this religiously and didn’t die until the age of 93.  He leaves four children, eleven grandchildren, thirty-five great-grandchildren and a 15-foot hole in the crematory wall.

Thank you for the nice article you printed in the Late Spring ‘08 Issue.

Just quick note to let you know how much I enjoy reading “The Dead Beat” when it reaches my desk.  I especially enjoyed the anonymous editorial in this latest issue-it sure brought a tear to my eye.
