The History Buffs met at the Brass Pelican on Monday, Dec. 19 with 18 people present. Jim Vance asked the blessing before our delicious breakfast.It was served family style and was courtesy of Monica as a Merry Christmas to the group. Thank You, Monica. Becky did her usual great job making sure everyone got plenty to eat.

Following breakfast Mr. Donald Brewer shared his collection of old Christmas cards. He has a large number of cards from the 1910 to 1915 years. We remarked that all the cards from that era were postcards.

Following the postcards a few old toys were passed around. Shirley Fulmer had brought a metal fire truck and a metal race car to show. Mr. Doyle Brewer entertained us with a humorous reading about the problems a mason encountered while trying to get a bucket of extra bricks down from the top of a tall building.

The next meeting will be January 21 at the Pelican. The speaker will be Mr. John Welsh who will talk to us about the founding and early days of the Red Rock Bible Camp.
