CHRIS JOHANNSEN introduced Sally Coffman, retired from Purdue and currently writing columns for the Lafayette Leader. She opened by pointing out that to write humor you must surround yourself with positive people who share common experiences about everyday life. She described her adventure with computer dating. Other sources of humor included 1) owning a home, 2) vacations, and 3) our jobs. Her stories associated with each of these brought smiles. Sally has written a textbook and two books filled with humorous stories. Her column for the Leader is based on community events. She has been in several of Civic Theater’s shows, has coordinated Civic’s Comedy Readers since 1992 and related the thrill of being on the Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. with veterans last October.
BARB REIF introduced Corrie Henderson and Ryan Hancock from Harrison High School. Each received a certificate and a travel mug with the 4-Way Test to commemorate meeting with us today.
