The Walnut: Recent issues
The Walnut - July and August, 2013 
Summertime and the living is easy…
Please note that this issue is for both July and August.
The Walnut’s editorial stiffs, er, staff are bound by union rules not to do anything constructive for two months. Mind you, some would say this is a consistent theme.
Have a wonderful and restful summer. See you in September! (Wasn’t that a song, too?)

We interrupt regular programming for this special announcement.
Let’s eat! See page 3’s Next Monthly Meeting for details on the upcoming Burger BBQ.
Operators are standing by to take your order…
The Walnut - May, 2013
On May 3, Ludwick Papaurelis lost his long and brave fight with prostate cancer.
We dedicate this issue of The Walnut to a man who gave so much to the PCCN Ottawa community.
PCCN Ottawa Member and Warrior Gerald “Jake” Freill passed away on May 1. We extend our condolences to his family.
The Walnut - April, 2013

The Walnut - March, 2013
We acknowledge that everything in The Walnut, including our page 2 disclaimer, is fascinating reading. Still, we ask you to pay particular attention to the page 6 item about our co-chairs’ Back to Basics movement (though not to be confused with any of Beethoven’s movements).
We thank you for your continued support!
