Camcraft Newsletter
May 1, 2006
Editor: Charles Reichard
Dear Customers,
Winter has departed and we are left with memories of unbelievably high fuel and electric bills. Fortunately we had a pretty mild winter this year. Lord knows what kind of financial mayhem may have ensued if we’d had an unusually severe winter season. This combined with ever increasing gasoline prices will cause serious problems for all of us. I still don’t understand why the American public continues to increase their fuel consumption during this time of ever increasing fuel costs. If we made a slight effort to decrease consumption then the price would come down at least a little bit.
Our daughter Victoria will receive her Master’s degree in Social Service from the University of Maryland Baltimore campus on May 19th. We are very excited for her. She will take her licensing exam in a couple of weeks. We will all be in Ashville, NC for a week with Betty & Stan after the graduation.
Any Camcraft customer wishing to have a picture of their car on our web site is welcome to send a picture and a brief description to me via e-mail. Pictures in JIFF or JPEG format are preferred. We will also mention any wins in our newsletter. Information is preferred via e-mail at any time of month. This prevents any last minute rushing. If you regularly send this information out, you can just add me to the list.
