I'm sure many of our Joe's Pond members will remember Susan Pilette. Jane Larrabee very kindly sent this to us today:

Susan Pilette, former Joe's Ponder (Jerry's mom), is celebrating her 90th birthday on January 7, 2009. She would enjoy cards. Her address is:

Susan Pilette

c/o Deb Grabowski

11 Lincoln Drive

Raymond, NH 03077

Thanks,

Jane [Larrabee]

Some of you will remember Bob Labrie - Bob contacted us about five years ago about our Ice-Out Contest and started a similar contest in his home town of Goshen, MA, for the benefit of their fire department. Over the years, their contest has grown steadily, and Bob has kept in touch with us here at Joe's Pond. Here's his "Meltdown" page on their web site:Goshen MA Fire

Bob sends this greeting:

I hope this note finds you happy, healthy and warm during the holiday season.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

With warmest regards, Bob, Sue, Sarah, Alyssa and Hannah
