 "Kay and Dick, I was just informed that I have a very large package awaiting pickup in the squadron that smells 'piney'." That e-mail came last December from Nick Graham, who was stationed in Qatar at the time. graham is a friend of Dick and Kay Moore's son, and they decided to send him a real Christmas tree from their tree farm.Later he wrote, "Just got the tree and set it up it was in really good shape when it got here and the building smells terrific now! My commander was completely shocked to see that we actually got a real tree over here. We dressed it up appropriately. Thanks again and merry Xmas."

 If you search for Matt Christopher on Time Warner Books' Web site you will get 221 pages of results. Try it on Amazon.com's book section and you will get 692 hits. He is still a best selling author of more than 130 sports books for young readers, even though he passed away in 1997. In fact, his publisher, Little Brown, still releases new books in the series under his name. Last Saturday his oldest son Marty donated a complete set of his books to the Lansing Community Library Center in a ribbon cutting ceremony and reception in the Town Hall. Many members of the Christopher family were on hand as well as friends and supporters of the library.

 Ask IMO
Lansing's Advice Column
Dear IMO,
This week’s snow flurries reminded me that winter will soon be here. Although I have no apprehension about driving in winter, I fear those drivers who insist on riding my bumper regardless of the road conditions. When the road is snowy or icy, I tend to drive under the posted speed limit. For example, if the posted limit reads “55 MPH”, then I will drive around 45 mph. It seems a reasonable way to drive, but I have discovered that some drivers become very annoyed at my way of driving. Am I wrong to drive with such care? Should I pull over and let them pass? How do you handle these drivers? Sincerely, Martha

 Have you ever seen a guard llama? Drive past Angel Tree Farm on Scofield Road on the Lansing/Groton line and you are likely to see one, standing guard over the Engels family's alpaca herd. A family affair, three generations get in on the act at Angel Tree Farm. Carol Engels, a Kindergarten teacher in Lansing, husband Jay, an accountant, their son Tyler and daughter Ashley, and Carol's parents Mal and Ellie all pitch in.They started the herd just over a year ago. The family lived on the farm for six years. "We were looking for something we could do on the farm that was manageable, something we could do together," explains Ms. Engels. "They're very easy animals to care for in the sense that they are clean, they use one common pile and they're grazers. So their feed is second cutting hay, some pellets and water." They are cousins to llamas and distantly related to camels.
