FAMILY EVENT BECOMES A MILNE REUNION

On Sunday, January 10th, Laurie Richter, the daughter of Alan RICHTER, '65, granddaughter of the late Irving RICHTER, '33, and grandniece of the late Harriet RICHTER Koblintz, '38, married Jonas Spector in Bal Harbour, FL. Dick ETTELSON, from the Class of '68, performed the ceremony. There were seven Milne grads/attendees at the wedding (listed in order of class year): Leona RICHTER Toppal, '47; Judy KOBLINTZ Madnick, '61; Alan RICHTER, '65; Barry RICHTER, '68; Dick ETTELSON, '68; Carol RICHTER Roffman, '70; and Chuck ETTELSON, '70. It was wonderful to be together for such a happy occasion...and have the opportunity to reminisce about our years at Milne.

A PUZZLE

See if you can determine what these words have in common. (This is what happens when I don't have many articles for the newsletter!!)

  1. Banana 
  2. Dresser 
  3. Grammar 
  4. Potato 
  5. Revive 
  6. Uneven 
  7. Assess 
 
Are you peeking or have you already given up? Give it another try.... 
 
Look at each word carefully. You'll kick yourself when you discover 
the answer. This is so cool....
  
No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters.... 
 
Did you figure it out? No? Then send to more people and stump them as 
well. You'll feel better too. The answer is at the end of this newsletter.

Answer to the puzzle: In all the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word. Thanks to Carol RICHTER Roffman, '70, for emailing this puzzle to me.
