President's Message
Happy Hot July!
Sorry for the short message this month but, I am in the midst of trying to get some work done and pack for St. Paul. One of the buildings I designed is up for a National Residential Design Award and I am travelling to the event. I think I have scoped out a couple good shops in the area and will probably be able to take lots of pictures and report back to the club.
Don’t forget this Tuesday is Crappy Tobacco Month and most of us will meet at Gourmet Garden around 6:00 for dinner.
Short and sweet…That’s all I got!
No presidents raffle this month as we will have to much fun with crappy tobacco.
Best,
KC
The Case of the Duplicitous Pallete
by Ernie Whitenack
Case of the Duplicitous Palette
Scott Wadsworth, a Boston Attorney and Special Investigator for the State Attorney, is again pulled into international intrigue by the murder of Patricia Curry. Miss Curry unknowingly sells near-perfect copies of paintings stolen from the Duke Charles Museum at Oxford University.
The only clues to her killer are a money clip engraved with ancient Hieroglyphics and full of US Dollars and Deutschmarks, a boarding pass stub, and a heavily worn ring sporting what looks like the head of a Ram or Goat.
Soon Scott Wadsworth is contacted by Interpol and Agent C33 of the DOJ’s secret investigative unit. Together they unearth a surprising international gang, a relic of Germany’s darker days.
This Month's Tobacco Raffle
