"LIST OF BOOKS BY OUR "WEEKLY  READERS" 

 

A special list of books are going to be suggested by a classmate who now reads close to 3 books a week.  She has always been a reader and does love her chosen Library in her home.  Her name is Carolyn Bertie Wallis and I think it would be fun to place her list and suggestions on our 2024 ...

"CLASSMATES BOOK CORNER"

A suggestion from Carolyn Bertie!  A good one for all of our l958 Airplane pilots:  Richard Meydag, Gary Bartling, Dan, and Leon  Whelchel. l.
