See you soon. Branch 19 New Brunswick, NJ By Ruth Vasvary Branch 19 Vice President Hello, it’s spring and time to start gardens. Plant five rows of "peas”: preparedness, promptness, preservation, politeness, prayer. Next, plant three rows of "squash”: squash gossip, squash criticism, squash indifference. Then plant five rows of "lettuce”: let us be faithful, let us be loyal, let us be unselfish, let us love one another, let us be truthful. And no garden is complete without "turnips”: turn up for meetings, turn up with a smile, turn up with a new idea, turn up with real determination. Branch President Honored Two-hundred friends and coworkers of Branch 19 President Joseph P. Arvay honored him Jan. 18 at a testimonial dinner marking his retirement after more than 41 years of public service. The dinner, held at the Victorian Manor in Edison, N.J., was a grand affair to remember. Enjoy your retirement, Joe. You’ve earned it.
