the super

Dear Norm,

Congratulations on attaining your 75th birthday. You are fortunate; you have such a great family to help you celebrate this momentous occasion.

My memories of you are: what an excellent employee you were. As superintendent you always had a solution in solving a problem. You were a man that all the other employees respected.

Our best wishes,

John and Miriam Payne

could this be our Gene Krupa?

Note the form...the style...the ever-so-casual stance. Now that's jazz!

Plant Pow-Wow

Eddie Johnson, our janitor, has retired. After many years in this plant, he will be missed by all of us.

We understand that a former employee of ours, Don Laundrie, is now working for the Denmark Press. We haven't heard exactly what his job will be, but with all his experience, we'd like to suggest an advice-to-the-lovelorn column!

Congratulations to the Lewises. Their Stevie was chosen as "Baby of the Month" by a popular Greem Bay photographer.

I knew we made living too comfortable for Norm here at Denark. Finally must have decided there was an easier way to get the food cooked and the apartment cleaned. His engagement to Mary Gibbons was announced during the holidays. Our congratulations!

mastering the intricacies of a rewarding life

Norm,

May your days be peaceful in all the ways that bring you contentment and may they be beautiful in all the ways that bring you joy. Don't think of your 75th birthday as just another birthday but think of it as another year spent mastering the intricacies of a rewarding and demanding life! That sounds better than "There goes another year down the tube!" Then there is the Bible's take on your birthday: "Is not wisdom found among the aged?"

If Bev remembers correctly she was with Mary that first night you invited her over to your apartment in Denmark. From that time on she knew the two of you were meant for each other. Too bad she has no pictures.

Enjoy your 75 days ... May God bless you for all time. Give Mary a hug from us.

Now that Halloween is over, are your spirits (and goblins and ghouls and. . . clowns) sagging?

scheming

In his cognitive theory of child development, Jean Piaget suggests that children learn by doing---action begets learning---and gradually incorporate new concepts into an ever-expanding and increasingly complex set of schema. During the "sensorimotor" stage, probably during endless games of peek-a-boo, children pick up the handy notion of object permanence: just because we can't see our favorite person hiding behind the blankie doesn't mean he no longer exists. But until we figure this out and remain in the suprising world of impermance, it's the miracle that keeps giving. Where's Daddy? There he is! Joy! Joy!

Sometimes, though, the miracle can be used for mischievous purposes. In the example below, a poor unsuspecting Schwister child has been lulled into a false sense of security during an intimate moment.



I can't see the thousands of cars passing on the freeway; therefore, they don't exist. Right? And since they don't exist, the people driving them surely aren't laughing at my bare bottom.

Dream on, kid. In a few years when you're ready for more sophisticated concepts, you'll learn to incorporate your father's sense of photographic humor into your cognitive schema.
