FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK
It has been our honor to serve the Idaho Good Sam Organization as your State Directors for the past four
years. We have enjoyed serving you and we want to THANK YOU for your support. We have had the
privilege to meet a lot of very nice people and we have made some lasting friendships which is a small part
of what Good Sams is all about. Like everything else, “all good things come to an end” and our term is
about to end. It is now time to turn the Idaho Good Sam Organization over to new leadership.

We are pleased to be able to turn the leadership over to our new State Directors, Gordon and Susan
Harris. We are asking everyone in the Organization to give them your full support as they lead us for the
next two years and beyond.

This will be my last newsletter, so please send all news items to Gordon.

Again THANK YOU for your support and for allowing us to serve you.  Joan and Dale

THANK YOU FROM THE SQUAW BUTTE RAMBLERS
The Emmett Squaw Butte Ramblers would like to send out a heart felt THANK YOU to each and every one
of the Good Samers who came to eat at our food booth at the New Plymouth Fall Roundup. We really
appreciate you.

FOUND
1.  At one of the recent Good Sam functions (Emmett Spring Fling, New Plymouth Fall Roundup or the
Southern Idaho Campout in Emmett) a place setting (knife, fork and spoon) for two was found. The settings
are black handled stainless steel. Any one who attended one of these functions and lost the described
settings, please give Boots Otto a call (208-343-5349) or cell (208-863-8291). She wants to get the
settings back to the rightful owners.

2.  One aluminum pan lid approximately 10 inch. Looks like a good one. This was found after the Southern
Idaho Campout in Emmett. For more information contact Harriet at 208 365-1516 after November 1, 2008.

P.S.  It happen in a fancy restaurant
     A man is dining at a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting it the next table.  He has
been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk to her.  Suddenly, she sneezes and her
glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man.  He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air,
and hands it back.
‘Oh my, I am so sorry’ the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.  ‘Let me buy your dinner to make
it up to you,’ she says.
They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theatre followed by drinks.  They talk,
they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.  After paying for everything, she
asks him if he would like to come to her place for a night cap and stay for breakfast.  They had a wonderful,
wonderful time.
The next morning she cooks a gourmet meal with all of the trimmings.  The guy is amazed. Everything had
been so incredible!  ‘You know’ he said, ‘you are the perfect woman.  Are you this nice to every guy you
meet?’
No, she replies
……...        Wait for it
…………..It’s coming
………………The suspense is killing you, isn’t it?
………………………..She says “you just happened to catch my eye.”
