February Picks of the Month

February Picks of the Month

This month bundle had some interesting pieces of work and I enjoyed reading each piece. The three picks for this month are listed below: 

 

 Journal of the Month: Ken Davis is always enlightening the members with some history from his past. Ken’s Lighthouse Journal No. 284, brought back memories especially with the picture of the lighthouse. The lighthouse in the journal reminds of the time when I went to Tybee Island, GA about 20-25 minutes from Savannah, Ga and walked up the lighthouse.

Writing of the Month: Bil Stahl “Rags from a Scrap-Bag Mind: Observations, Speculations, and Remembrances” writing illustrated how sometimes we become attached to something as small a particular type of pen. Even though something new could replace the old, it is the memories that will always last forever.

Project of the Month: Mark McComas “Is the Queen Coming? Yes, But Morse Had Nothing To do With It!”. The railroad folklore was interesting and clarified to the truth about the “Q” of the Morse Code in relation to the crossing signal of a horn of a train.
