Dear Mr. President:
An old year now is ending,
Twas a year with trouble fraught.
When men of honor suffered,
With things they had not aught.
to
brew
pur
When those of feeble morals,
Attempted to erase.
The system of our government,
And bring us to disgrace.
But steadfast was our President,
In holding to the helm.
Those men of evil purpose,
Could not him overwhelm.
Now, Lord, this new year's dawning,
Needs the touching of Your hand.
To fortify our President,
To help him save our land.
In the fight 'tween good and evil,
Let him even up the score.
And bring a stable peace, at home,
In nineteen seventy-four.
Sincerely,
John E. Nidecker

Dear Cave Men:
During the last Encampment we met with our old friends, the
Grove Committee, and received confirmation of their position
that the "Rickenbacker Cottage" is beyond repair and must be
torn down as a hazard, or rebuilt. This was not unexpected,
but we had hoped to postpone the issue for awhile. After a
lot of soul searching on the part of Allan Hoover's infamous
"invisible management" we have authorized the Grove Committee
to:
"Tear down existing "Rickenbacker Cabin" and construct
a four room sleeper and bath similar to existing one
above Lodge as per plan attached. Excavate and put in
blue rock walkway from Lodge to upper stairway. Move
outdoor bar to upper end of patio and put in lights
and water. Remove deadwood trees in patio area and
leaning maple. Cut off existing stump and upper stair-
way to make steps wider."

The estimate for this work is about $10,000, and while we
do have a surplus in the treasury, it has been decided to
"pay as we go." This will mean an assessment of approxi-
mately $400 per member, and I must reluctantly ask each of
you to forward your check for this amount to The Cave Man
Fund, % George Mardikian, 207 Powell Street, San Francisco,
California.
240 STOCKTON STR.
Tom Sunderland, who has worked hard on the details of this
project, shares with me the feeling that this should take
care of major expenses for the foreseeable future. At least
we'll have added some modern facilities at a low altitude
to accommodate some of our aging and less agile members.
May I take this opportunity to wish each of you a very Merry
Christmas and a happy, healthy and more tranquil New Year.
Sincerely,
Bob
