to The Monday Marginals. Each can multiply by 10 or 100 but none saw the value added by going through the agony of multiplying a series of numbers like 19 shares at 47 7/8 just to know precisely where you stand between the original purchase and the ultimate sale. The second obstacle to precise performance measurement is a personnel problem rooted in the fact that the treasurer serves without compensation and therefore for limited tenure. So it is easy to understand the position taken by the current occupant of that lofty office. She assures me that the question of "How well have The Monday Marginals done?" is ascertainable but the raw material required to do so is safely stored in her basement. There she firmly intends to let it rest in peace until she can transfer custody to her successor who undoubtedly will inter the records in her basement in keeping with this long standing custom. What we do know for certain is that the financial results obtained by the members have been vastly enriched by the fun they've had and the lasting friendships they've made. It is a record of accomplishment that excites only envy and admiration from their loving husbands whose life spans have been extended and who now can - when the time comes - go to their reward and rest in peace, secure in the knowledge that their original hopes and expectations for The Monday Marginals have been more than realized. Thank you. 4
