In this month's edition we are featuring a

in the GRAPEVINE in 1972. We hope
that you will enjoy reminiscing over the past

This edition also gives us an opportunity to

essential support. We also want to thank our
many readers who have supported us over the

This past year was a good year for us and
we are optimistically looking forward to 1973.
Plans are to expand our news and circulation
