There were more stories told and some awards given. Most notably, Leo Thietje won the door prize; a rare battery-operated SU Carburettor advertizement wall clock. I noted that the labels on the back said 'Made in England' and 'Lucas' so the Club wishes me to state they are not responsible for accuracy of the timepiece. Congratulations, Leo!
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
- Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
- Insanity is my only means of relaxation.
- Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
- You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
- There cannot be a crisis this week; my schedule is already full.
- Time may be a great healer, but it's also a lousy beautician.
- The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.
- Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
- Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
- Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain consciousness.
- It is bad to suppress laughter; it goes back down and spreads to your hips.
- Freedom of the press means no-iron clothes.

Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark:
- Don't miss the boat.
- Remember that we are all in the same boat.
- Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
- Stay fit...When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
- Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
- Build your future on high ground.
- For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
- Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
- When you're stressed, float a while.
- Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
