Let's hope it will be one of the best years of our lives. Lots of things are happening. Before I leave 1997, let me remind everyone of a tradition not acknowledged this year. Frank Galli left us on October 25, and this Christmas there will be no traditional eggnog made, bottled and delivered personally by the mayor of Ignacio to his special friends.
Traditions are hard to replace.
Frank's wife, Jean, was patient through the whole Operation Eggnog, but can you imagine the time and effort that went into this great tradition. The idea of a parcel tax to fund a new birthing center for the upcoming Sutter hospital in Novato went into the ash can when the Council was told there is no support for it. Thank goodness for Channel 23 so we can view the City meetings while the action is taking place. Worth the price of cable. They could still amend the MOU if they felt strongly enough now that reality has set in.
