The gold dusters and "My Brand New Automo­bile" which was written and arranged by Al­then McCormick Place in Chicago, July 9, 1966, and then International President Reedie Wright saying . . . "your first place winners the • Auto­Towners' ".

All of these are memories of OUR International Champions f.rom Dearborn. And now they say that it is coming to an end as the quartet is going to "bang up their pitch pipe and retire to that big Chorditorium in the sky." But to get serious, the influence of these four men on the Pioneer Dis­trict, and the Society as a whole, will continue after they are gone.

We in Jackson are sad to see them go, but we are happy that their farewell occurs on our Conven­tion stage for it was here on Oct. 7, 1961 that they won their District Quartet Championship. They have sung on our Parades and they were here in 1967 when they were Champions. We feel that they are a part of our chapter. Gentlemen, it's been great.
