By the time this bulletin arrives, most of you will be aware of our move to the Amana Colonies of Iowa. Barbara and I are the new owners of the Die Heimat Motor Hotel in Homestead and will be making our home there after July 1. We have so much to thank you for. Your kindness and help you have been so quick to offer on and off the air and your willingness to share treasured family recipes have made the Open Line the extra special radio program that it is. Instead of saying Good Bye, just let me say an extra Thank You for your warmness and friendship you've extended the Loyds through the Open Line. In Hawaii, we learned a word that seems very appropriate for this occasion. It's a word that combines Thank you and Farewell with Love. To you, dear friend . . . Aloha!
