HARRY HAPPENINGS
NEW
YEARS IN NEWTOWN
December
31 , 2008-January 1, 2009- A contigent
of Hars gathered at Harriette Katie's house for
the first time to help ring in 2009. Hars Pat
M. and Allan C. were too under the weather to
participate but they received approved absences.
The Hars enjoyed good food and fabulous drinks
but most of all enjoyed the great friendship this
night. Following the ball drop, the Hars raided
the neighbors party as well. They sounded like
they were having a good time and we wanted to
see what it was all about. They had live lobsters

her first party a success and she looks forward
to having summer BBQ.

HARRY PROMOTED

2008- With Rocky's sudden passing

Chief this week. He is shown in the picture
showing off his brand new white helmet. Well
