On to this month’s issue of the Regan Family News. As always, Ross never disappoints and this issue is filled with interesting new developments. It seems like he was on a mission to continually improve his documentation, even while scolding his siblings for not contributing more. He clearly wanted a partner in this project, but one was never to emerge.
First Things First
It’s the Easter Issue, hence one of the rare “covered” issues. “The Editor” is credited so I guess Ross produced this. He did a nice job picturing 12 of the 14 stations of the cross, and if you have the original, you’ll enjoy the colors, which didn’t reproduce.
News
- Vera Johnston continued to have health woes
- Bob Postier and family make a big move
- The Mulherin’s get a visit
- Helen and Ray play host
- A birth announcement for Collen Marie Regan
- Ross reaches a dead end in his search for information regarding our immigrant ancestor, Peter Regan
Page 3 and then some…
Ross goes off on a 3 page patented yarn detailing what can only have been a wild winter weekend in Swago. It’s classic “Reporter Ross” writing under a name de plume and it involves quite the cast. Read it; your family is in there somewhere, I guarantee.
Talk To Each Other
Here, Ross posts the readers’ comments in regard to a topic he previously suggested: The government roll re: cigarettes. He then suggests a new topic for an upcoming issue: “Should children be transferred to other schools to promote integration?” Pretty crazy stuff for a family newsletter, but he wanted to spark political debate. Interesting, right?
Dilute Hysteria With Common Sense
The final page is an editorial regarding the stock market and suggestions for investing. Great stuff, as one might imagine.
