On April 17, 35 members, mostly from Prescott and the Northern Arizona area, got together for our second annual Prescott luncheon this year at Watson Lake. Watson Lake is a scenic area just north of Prescott. Our reserved area was on a knoll overlooking the lake and Granite Dells. The weatherman granted us a reprieve from the cold and wind and provided a beautiful day. Just the day before the high was about 49 degrees and there were snow flurries.
It was a great day of renewing friendships, exchanging news and reflecting on the "old days". A catered lunch was provided and all agreed that it turned out well.
Thanks to Chuck Dumas and Jean Winslow for arranging this event.

A great time was had by all. We want to thank our speaker Pat Sculley for his well received and timely presentation.
Dear Ed,

We have 39 attendees coming from across the U.S. and your gift will help defray expenses for the Institute. We are affecting the lives of more than 300,000 children thanks to donors like you.

Eat your vegetables…and your chocolate!
No, you're not dreaming. Dark chocolate is recommended as part of a healthy diet, thanks to the phenols in cocoa. You can decrease the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, reduce your blood clot risk, and increase arterial blood flow while eating something you actually enjoy.
Of course, there are a few guidelines:
- Eat dark chocolate that is 70% cocoa (some sources say 60% is good). Milk chocolate and white chocolate don't have the same healthy properties.
- Limit intake to about 1 oz. daily. (Calories do count).
- Make sure cocoa butter is the primary fat in the chocolate you choose; avoid products with hydrogenated oils, palm or coconut oils (The saturated fat in cocoa butter does NOT adversely affect cholesterol, and may even be beneficial.)
- And finally, do not drink milk with your chocolate treat. Research indicates that milk blocks the absorption of the good stuff in dark chocolate. Sources: University of Michigan Integrative Medicine and WebMD.
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
"I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.
"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did.
Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill
