Now that the flu season has completed a "successful" run, another season appears to be upon us - at least for those KeeNeRites who have children. Phil Nye reports that his littlest one, Cynthia, (which he affectionately refers to as the "monster"), has come down with the chicken pox.

Another event to look forward to after the Autorama Show will be the l1I<NR-sponsored show at the Masonic Temple when the groups known as "Canned Heat", "The Spirit" and "Brooklyn Bridge" will appear in concert on Sunday, February 9.
