District 1 Hospital Commissioner
I'm sure that there will be a corrected roster in the October Cootie Courier but here is a "head's up"...Mike McGuire has "retired" as the District 1 Hosp Commissioner. That means so PA, DE, DC, MD, VA and WV need to send their Hospital reports to: Jesse Kitson, 167 Carnation Dr, Magnolia, DE 19962. Please pass the word to your Hospital Chairmen!
