 We are pleased to announce the creation of the Robert Rodney Rhoad, Jr. Fund for the Preservation and Restoration of Historic Art at the Jamestown, Rhode Island, Historical Society.  A HOMER's memorial donation to this fund helped make it possible and we have received a thank you letter outlining the process the Historical Society will follow to restore a wonderful old watercolor of a stone wall in East Ferry, Rhode Island. It may be that Bob's father and also he, as a young boy, may have stopped at a well nearby for water on a hot summer day. All HOMERs are invited to visit the Jamestown, Rhode Island Historical Society at 92 Narragansett Avenue. If individual members care to make additional donations, mail it to P.O.Box 156, Jamestown, RI 02835 T |

| Just a Reminder the HOMER's November Meeting will be November 29th at Bobby D's. But that doesn't mean the Homers have been home alone and sitting still; they've been working! On a recent cool and crisp November morning Gene, Jerry, Bob D., Larry, Ron, Bobby D., and George G., AKA "The Router" were working at assembling mini-picnic benches for the children at a local camp.
