The Newsletter

The Retirees' Newsletter is published by the Faculty and Librarian Retirees' Association of the University of Windsor, published five times per year: in February, April, June, October and December.

Its purpose is to provide an alternative outlet for retirees who wish to publish, especially outside their professional fields. It is also intended to inform faculty and librarian retirees on matters of immediate practical import to them such as pensions, benefits, association activities, etc.

In addition, The Newsletter welcomes all items that all readers, whether members or non-members, wish to share with their colleagues personal anecdotes, experiences, observations, reports and creative work of all kinds. A special invitation in this respect, goes to out-of-town members.

If it is at all possible, please send a diskette along with your hard copy. But don't hold back on that account even if it's written (legibly) by hand, your item will be entirely acceptable.

Items intended for publication should be received by the 25th of the month before publication.

The Newsletter is set up in WordPerfect Version 6.1, and is printed on a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4L printer.Any member who would like to take part in the preparation of The Newsletter, in any capacity should contact the editor. Such work is voluntary, and is warmly welcomed.

The Editor is Bill Phillips. All items for publication should be sent to the Editor. Email him at philli3@uwindsor.ca Or send items directly to his home address: 1186 Grand Marais Rd West, Windsor, ON, N9E 1C7. Associate Editor is Joan Hackett.. ALL correspondence will reach us if sent c/o the Fac/Lib Retirees' Association, Univ. of Windsor Post Office, Windsor, ON, N9B 3P4, preferably marked "Newsletter"

Notice of the First Meeting of the Computer Users' Interest Group

All members of the Association who are interested in computers are invited to attend this first meeting.

Even if you don't own a computer but are thinking "maybe", come to the meeting. You're sure to hear something that will help you decide.

For persons who own a computer which they feel they're not using to capacity (all of us!) the meeting is a must.

Arrangements

Bring your own sandwich -- Bob and Jean will supply coffee, fruit and other desserts and "maybe some etceteras" !

Long-term

It is hoped this will be the first of many meetings of the Group. We may all end up nerds! Not likely. But it will be fun to see.

A FINAL THOUGHT

I saw this somewhere and it seemed so a propos to today, I couldn't resist it.

"When you judge other people remember one overriding axiom: 'Everyone is having a hard time.' Everyone is insecure. Everyone is hassled. Everyone is tired we all need more sleep. Everyone wishes he had more courage, more money and better social skills. Everyone wants more glamour in his life, and we all desperately need more laughter. Few can figure out how they ended up living the life they lead. Don't be misled by flippant talk; it's a battle for everyone...Give people a break. It's not easy doing a life."
Joshua Halbertstam in Everyday Ethics.
