Holiday Greetings from Tetu to all of you!  I hope your holidays have been enjoyable and you have been able to spend some quality time with those you care about.  Our Christmas was busy, which is a first here in MN for us!  We had plenty of company from out of town, and with Scott and Kate around, it was a magnificent holiday and really fun New Years!  Both of our mothers were here with us for about two weeks also!

Today we finished up with new carpet for the sport show booth! Ed will be able to pick up the new photos we chose and we're excited about the "new look" for the 2011 Tetu Island Lodge Booth display!  We have needed this for awhile and we love it and hope you can come to one of the shows we are attending to get a look at it!

Our first show starts January 13th, in St. Charles, IL at the Pheasant Run Convention Hotel and Convention Center. Tetu will also be attending the American Outdoor Show in Chicago-Rosemont on January 26th through 30th. He is more than ready to get on the road and begin working again to get the reservations going for 2011!

Our winter is flying by with both of us working on the remodel of the house here in Minneapolis.  It is nearly finished and has been worth the wait! It was awesome entertaining over the holidays and so great to have room for everyone!  The dogs are also enjoying their winter, except we have recently found out that our poor yellow lab, Caliber is going to have to have another surgery on her right hind leg for the exact same injury she had LAST January on the LEFT leg! Whew~this little girl is expensive! But hopefully she will be good as new by the time we return to the island in the spring. She has a fantastic surgeon and a great vet to help us through it all.

We thank all of you who sent us your beautiful Christmas cards and holiday photos and wishes! We love hearing from you and seeing your families! It's always thrilling to have Tetu Island Lodge on the front cover of your holiday greetings!

If you are planning on a trip this year, I would suggest you get your reservations in as soon as possible-The weekends are filling quickly and we always want to try and fulfill your wishes on dates.  We certainly can use some "help" with any bookings from you, or others you might have shared our Tetu info with! This economy doesn't seem to be magically improving like we had all hoped it would, but Ed and I are still so grateful for all our wonderful customers and the reservations~

Any questions or comments you might have, please contact us through the phones, emails, or Facebook.  Hope to see some of you during the sportshow season! Thanks for taking the time to read our blogs, view our web site and we hope you enjoyed the beautiful 2011 Tetu Brochure.  If you would like us to mail you another one, or have someone in mind, please let us know and send us the address and we would be happy to mail it out right away!  We LOVE to share Tetu!

Happy New Year to all of you!

   We hope that you and your family are enjoying this very special time of year.  Ed and I have been busy decorating the house, yard and getting our holiday shopping in order.  So many of my family and our friends are living in other states, so that forces me to get more organized much earlier than I used to!
   Ed and Tod were the last to leave Tetu for the season at the end of October.  We had late hunters this year, and the poor guys had the most beautiful hunting "weather" you they had ever seen! Unfortunately, they had mid 70s most of the week they were at Tetu! Sorry, no big hunting stories to tell you! Maybe next year, guys! Who would have ever expected those temps for the end of October in NW Ontario?

   All the staff arrived safe and sound to their homes when they left in September and October.  Saksay returned to Tetu to cook for the hunters, and Amanda, Mitch, and Jason left mid October, for Mitch to get back to Quebec so he could go to work at the caribou camp.  I ended up coming back to Minneapolis without any of the dogs, as I had a week's vacation time with all my best girlfriends! I have known some of these gals since I was in junior high, so we go back a long time and we certainly enjoy our week every year.  This year the gals came from PA, CO, IA and MN.  Such a great time, thanks, Ed for helping me make that happen! Saksay, our chef drove down from Winnipeg and spent a very special Thanksgiving with Ed, Kate, and I.  We took him to Mall of America on Black Friday and I am guessing he will never want to do that again, but I had a blast and always love shopping, no matter what day it is! We had a fun 4 days with Sak and it's always nice to socialize with our staff "away from Tetu" so we can concentrate a bit better on just having a great time!

   The 2011 Tetu Brochure is being printed right now and we hope to have them to you in the next couple of weeks. Thanks again, Bill Coontz, his awesome company, and of course, the ULTIMATE printing company, Quantum Graphics-both these fine companies are local and from the Minneapolis area and we're so lucky to be able to work with them! We hope you enjoy the 2011 Brochure-

   Hopefully, you have all seen the beautiful new web site and we'd love to hear what you think~We love our Facebook posts and hearing from you always makes us smile!

   On the Henn side of things, it's been a furious and fast late fall and early winter for us-The remodel is nearly done and we're finally able to enjoy it! It's beautiful and we love staying home now! I've kept Ed really busy with all of my to-do things and we haven't had much time to do anything but work, but it's coming together finally and it's all been worth the wait! Thank you so much, PAULSON  BROS. WOODWORKX for their fantastic job on our cabinets! Thank you, W.D. FLOORING for the gorgeous hardwood floor! Kudos to Dave's Floor Sanding, and we thank DAVE ANDREEN CONSTRUCTION for this huge project! Dave is the very best contractor around and we're so lucky to have worked with him!  We really appreciate ELECTROLUX for the appliances and ALL INC. for my BIG BAD WOLF!  A HUGE hug and thanks to Dave Grambling, of NORTHWESTERN MARBLE AND GRANITE! It's beautiful, Dave! Tony-at AM plumbing, you are incredible! Steve Singer, PIPELINE SUPPLY for the fantastic plumbing fixtures! Thank you, SHAW-STEWART LUMBER for the supplies-Steve Sinkie, of HEATING AND COOLING 2, you are awesome and we love our heating/cooling systems! Mr. Rick Eder-your painting and staining skills are amazing-thank you! A big thanks to SOUTHERN LIGHTING, out of Burnsville, for the incredible lighting fixtures! Of course, I won't forget John Drew, who owns ULTIMATE EXTERIORS-we love it all, John-   All of these wonderful people are OUR TETU CUSTOMERS and we thank each of you so very much for helping us with our project!

   We're gearing up for starting the Sportshows, which begin early January.  Our schedule is looking OK, but we ask that you book early for the dates that you prefer. The weekend days become really tough to find open after spring, so if you thinking of coming to Tetu for 2011, give us a call and we'll give you some ideas of dates and prices.

   We wish all of you a very happy holiday season and hope you enjoy this time with your family and friends. It will be a quiet Christmas at our house, but at least Kate and her boyfriend Chris will be home with us.  Son J.B. will stay in Florida to work and our son Scott will be with his very special gal, Lani in Kansas and Iowa. My sister, her husband and my mom are hoping to visit the week between Christmas and New Years and I'm hoping we can get to Iowa yet to see Ed's mom before the holidays.  We're perfectly happy to stay home this year with the three dogs! Muskie is hanging in there and getting around real well. Coop is just missing Tetu Island, where he ran the entire island and could go anywhere he pleased. Caliber is just happy sitting at our feet 24/7! Ed just had the invisible fence installed, and none of them were real thrilled with it, I must admit!

   Call or write anytime if there is anything we can do for you! We are already making our plans and making lists for opening in 2011-I have most the new catalogs for the season and having fun with my "wish list" for Tetu next year!

   Enjoy! We're thankful for all of you and wish you a very Happy Holiday.  We are sure counting our blessings this year, thanks to many of you! YOU are what makes Tetu Island Lodge what it is and what it means to all of us~

August fishing has been CRAZY, HOT, AWESOME, and INCREDIBLE! This has been wonderful so far-!

Last weekend was our busiest of the season! Cattell Group was here, Wilcox-Ranney Group,(thanks,Brian!) Midla, Julian Family and they have caught and released some incredible fish: Dan from Julian party-started his first day with an 18 inch smallmouth-John Gonia also a nice 43 inch pike! Jack Julian had a 40 inch muskie-Alex Conti-37 1/2 inch pike-Christian Andriano -26 inch walleye-
Kevin York-42 inch pike-Greg Parker-40 inch muskie-Tim Houtz-41 inch pike-David Rickert-17 1/4 inch smallmouth-Peter Hanson-Electrolux Crew-19 inch smallmouth-Tiege Fox-16 1/2" and 19 inch smallmouth-Nathan ONeal-26 1/2" walleye-The Welsch Crew from WIS have fared well-Travis-36" pike, Bill Cohron-3 Master angler smallmouth-35" pike, 40" pike-Travis Cohron-36 inch pike and 35 1/2". John Welsch-36 inch pike and FORTY FIVE inch muskie! These guys still have ONE more day-Saved the best for last-this morning while the Electrolux crew were packed, waiting on the dock as their float plane came in--John Carroll of Evans, GA took a few extra minutes to fish before he left-Went out with Matt, threw a phantom and caught and released a FORTY SIX inch muskie 10 minutes before he departed! These are the special TETU moments that we can all remember and laugh about! The PAWLEY party is also with us, as they are here every year and we expect some nice fish to be caught while they are here-So far, Mike Pawley has a nice 16 inch smallmouth and Dennis has a 26 1/2 walleye.

Today we welcome the Aller Party and the Madsen Party. Tomorrow we have the Lam Party and the Roussos Party-Chris Roussos has been bringing his family to Tetu for YEARS and every year he, his father in law and their sons and daughter Anna come during Anna's birthday! THANKS, CHRIS!

We will welcome back the TRUSSBILT crew and Frank Zoelle and Steve Cooper on Saturday!

Staff are all back from their vacations and time off. Most of them went to Winnipeg and did some shopping, movies and relaxing. Joy and Stephen attended the Jon Bon Jovi concert and had a great time-!

I'll be heading out towards the end of this month to help with my mom's 80th birthday celebration with family and friends, but will be back shortly after Labor Day.

We have some nice openings still for this month-18th through 25-Let us know if you would like to come up and get in some great fishing time-

Hope all is well with you and your summer is going great! Ours is flying!

Kathi

Hope this finds you all well and enjoying your summer. The Tetu summer is passing quickly and we've been really lucky with the beautiful weather this season. Of course, compared to LAST summer, anything would be an improvement!

We had a great group here this past week, The Healthsource Group-The guys had plenty of fun and some really nice fish caught and released!

Gerry Viere had a nice day yesterday, with a 40 inch pike, her largest yet!

Dick and Dan Edmonds have had great luck with the smallies this week fishing with Matt. Their largest so far is a 19 inch, also a beautiful 18 inch, caught on tubes. This is the first trip to Tetu for them and they are certainly putting a squeeze on the bass!

The Kruskopf Crew are back and loving every minute! This is about the 6th trip for Dave and Kate and Dave caught and released a huge 28 inch walleye yesterday!

The water level has risen about 14 feet since we opened in June. Fishing has been pretty good although we have seen the pike numbers drop off some the past couple of days. Could be the constant and ever changing fronts in and out of here the past 48 hours!

Staff has been taking their vacation times while we are slow. Mitch, Amanda, Marsha, Tod and Pierre are all due back today, with Tracey and Greg coming back tomorrow. It's a good time for the hard working staff to take a break, as we have a good 60 days yet to go for the season!

Ed is handing out some nice discounts for later in the fall, if anyone would like to try some fall fishing. It can really be awesome and it's so beautiful that time of year up here!

Josh and Jan Roundsley, owners of Thorne Brothers in Blaine, MN are here and we are expecting BIG news from them on the fishing! You ought to see the amount of equipment these people have with them! The guides are drooling !

Daughter Kate is spending her vacation with us this week, she and I managed to get out and walleye fish, with me getting a 26! My largest for the year, however, I might add that it is the ONLY time I have been in a boat all season! Kate would rather fish for pike and muskie and she will find time to do some of that late today or this evening.

I still go down to the dock and marvel at the beautiful, new deck that Ed and the boys have built. Ed continues to amaze me with his talents and dedication! (just don't tell him that!)

We're excited to welcome the SAM RUFFOLO CREW, they are arriving today via Winnipeg. Sam has been a VIP here at Tetu for years and is bringing some family and friends for their first trip to Tetu! Thanks, Sam!

Walleyes have been active on bottom bouncers with crawlers. Pike loving the spinner baits. Smallies on tubes-!

GREAT TIMES AT TETU!

Take care, everyone- Take one day at a time and let's all try and remember how lucky we are to be HERE!
Happy Birthday, to my BIG sis, Teri!
Kathi

Happy 4th Everyone!

It's hard to believe that it is already the first week of July! The season is FLYING by this year and we are really enjoying ourselves at Tetu. Guests are happy, fishing is good, weather has been pretty good, so I certainly can't complain about a thing!

I was in the states last week going to pick my mom up. She is back here at Tetu and loving it! She eats walleye every single day that she is here on her visits north. It's so awesome that Mom will be 80 years old in September and still able to make the trek north with us every year. We feel so blessed that we can still share Tetu with her and she and I will go fishing soon when it slows down some.

The progress on the lower deck is coming along, slowly but surely. The railing system has begun and looks marvelous. I am still amazed at my husband's skills he possesses and can use here on the resort. (even after all these years!)

I wish I could list all of our Master Anglers lately but would like to mention a few:

Art Moglowsky- 18 1/2 inch smallmouth
John Tschida- 28 1/2 inch walleye
Chuck Blanski-29 inch walleye
Bobbi Blanski-41 inch northern pike
Noah Check-17 inch smallmouth
Cole Fischer-20 inch smallmouth!
Sharon Zarrett-42 1/2 inch northern pike!

As you can see, the fishing here at Tetu has been really consistent and we're seeing some nice sizes and the numbers are up! We're using bottom bouncers, trolling cranks and the smallmouth are loving anything with an orange bottom.

Saksay even managed to get out fishing with Bob and Sharon Zarrett and finally made the Master list with a 26 1/2 inch walleye last week! Congrats, Sak! He finally proved he can fish ALMOST as well as he cooks! Our staff LOVES it when the Zarretts are at Tetu, Sharon bakes so many special treats for the staff and I wish all of you could taste these delicious bakery goods she makes! Her fudge is to DIE for!

We're excited to be getting ready for a couple of our larger groups in July. We will soon have the FRANKS party back for their second trip of the season, the Tom Bredesen Crew is due soon, and we're looking forward to Dave Neubauer's group-Healthsource coming the 21st. Today a great group from Pekin Insurance arrive and will be here until the 8th. Rob Hunt and his crew from Wayzata Rotary come in on the 8th as well and we can't wait to show these guys our view of "fishing in Canada at Tetu Island Lodge!"

We just had an opening come up, it is from the 14th of July until around the 18th-We have room for 6 fishermen and if you would like to give us a call or email, we'll be MORE than happy to fill this spot and give a really nice deal-

We hope that you are enjoying your holiday with family and friends. I'm on my way over to the dining room with all of my red, white and blue decor!

Thanks for following Tetu on our blog, web site, Facebook and Twitter!

Hey, friends!

It's hard to believe but we're working on the 3rd day in a row here with sun! Lovin it-

Fishing has been great! Had a big group here last week that nailed some nice walleyes, largest was a 28 inch! The day before yesterday, Alex Shura, an 11 year old on his first trip to Tetu with his dad and grandpa caught a released a 30 inch walleye! Beautiful and healthy fish, and she is back into the system to be caught again-

Karl and Dee Osberg of Huron, S.D. had an incredible first day fishing-Karl caught and released a 41 and 44 inch pike trolling with Mitch! Karl and Dee have been customers for many years and always do well with the big ones!

We're really missing our very good friend, Don Nikunen on this trip! Don usually makes it up with the Boynton/Sheehan crew twice a year and he couldn't make it this week, but we are looking forward to seeing him in September for the second trip! It's just not the same without you, DON! Dan is holding your trophy as of last night with a 18 1/2 inch smallmouth he is bragging about! That should change today, HA! (so far, Jerry's largest walleye is 26 1/4, Don)

The new deck is gorgeous! The railing system still needs to be completed yet, and hope to have it finished soon! (chop! chop, Ed!)

Our newest addition, Ashley is fitting in great with the Tetu Staff and is doing a wonderful job in the dining room. The guests love her and it's always fun to have a new face in there. Pierre and Marsha's son, John is also another new face around here. The young man is only 12 years old and loves it here and we love having him!

Smallmouth have been hitting well this week-Quite a few 16 inches plus and a nice 18 1/2 inch caught and released yesterday.

Tommy Morken caught and released a 40 inch pike yesterday. They still have 3 more days, so we expect BIG things from these two young men.

We have a new large group arriving this weekend, the YPO-Father's Day group-We're excited to show them Tetu's way of life and hope the weather will behave while they are here until the 23rd! We KNOW the fish will!

I'll be leaving the 23rd to run down to pick up my Mom and bring her back to Tetu for a few weeks. Mom is turning 80 this fall and we're so excited and happy she is coming up for a visit! She loves how the staff spoils her while she is here and Matt has promised to take the two of us fishing for an afternoon and cook a great shorelunch.

We are so pleased to have the Sheehan, Osberg, Shura, Schmidt, Jung and Harris parties here this week! Welcome back to most of you and we hope to see the Shura and Schmidt parties become "regulars" at Tetu Island Lodge!

These ROAD CLOSURES at the WHITEDOG DAM have proven to be a big pain in the "you know what"-the dam is closed Mon thru Thursday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and again from 1 to 5 pm. It's open on Friday, Sat and Sunday at all times. As you can see, it is changing some of the arrival and departure times for our guests, but everyone is working around it and we're managing. The person it seems to be the hardest on is ED! He is the "town runner" so far this season and that means he has to be gone the entire day! It's driving him crazy!

It's been a great start for our Tetu season and we're looking forward to seeing all of you soon! We have some open dates yet for -July 2-5 July 8-11 July 11-14 July 17-21 July 25-28! Give us a call and let's WHEEL AND DEAL! All of these openings are for at least a 2 bedroom and 2 bath cabin and a couple of them are open for a 3 bedroom/3 bath!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, GUYS!

Be safe and GOD BLESS!

We're in the middle of packing up Ed's truck for his trip north to Tetu this weekend! We have been busy purchasing supplies, groceries to feed the staff, and resort necessities! I'm glad he is taking the huge, covered trailer with him so there is room for all my clothes! Ed will take Cooper with him and I will follow a day or two after Ed leaves with Caliber and Muskie. Cali got the Ok from the vet on returning back to normal activities after her knee surgery in February. Glad it's healing nice and she was getting very bored having to stay off the leg for this long and I was afraid that the leash was going to attach itself to her before long!

Ed is leaving about a week later than planned. He had an "issue" with the Bobcat. (Like issue, I mean he ran it into a house he had been working on in St. Cloud!) Tee hee, you'll have to ask him about that one, I think it's best that I not say anymore. HA!

I'm happy to announce that Matt Thompson, Ed's good friend will be joining us at Tetu this summer! Matt worked with us in management when we owned the Minnesota resort, and has been working with Ranger Boats the last couple of years. He also had a successful fishing television show at one time. Matt is an avid fisherman, loves the resort business and we're happy to have him aboard and part of the Tetu Family! He also worked for Thorne Brothers for many years selling fishing equipment. Matt has also fished many tournaments and is sometimes known as "Muskie Matt"! He's been Ed's fishing buddy for many years and now we get to work with him this summer!

We've talked with Saksay and the rest of the staff and they are all anxious to return for the season. As I mentioned before, Alexis and Gareth are expecting a baby in July, so we'll miss Alexis but Gareth is talking of returning for the rest of the season after their baby is born. We're really excited for the two of them and know what great parents they will be! Mitch, Todd and Amanda are coming in ahead of the rest of the staff, we hope to see them around the 20th to help open the resort. We're trying it with a very small staff for opening this year-it means more work for Ed and I, but it's good for us and we can save a little money by doing most of it ourselves.

We are looking forward to starting our 2010 Season this weekend and can't wait until we are open and the guests start arriving! Our first guests arrive the first week of June and the summer is looking pretty good! We always have room for more, so if you are thinking of a trip this year, give us a call or an email! We have many new guests to welcome this summer!

Thanks to all our loyal guests who do their best to return to Tetu year after year-We don't know what we would do without you! We have actually been able to watch some of these kids grow up the past 14 years and it's awesome to see them grow up, start college etc.

Next blog will be from the island in the next couple of weeks! Until then, hope all of you are planning a trip north this summer and looking forward to your fishing adventures! We're excited to see you soon!

Kathi Henn

We hope that all of you were able to enjoy a great Holiday season with family and friends and we wish all of you a very happy, successful and healthy 2010!

Ed and I spent a very quiet Christmas here at home in Minneapolis. All our children were out of town but we were able to get together with Kate and Scott the week of New Years. I have NO idea what got into ME, but I spent most the entire time baking and trust me, our waistlines are showing that I need to find something else to do in my spare time! Literally hundreds of cookies were decorated and I think I was up to 15 batches of caramel corn and peanut brittle! Not surprising, Ed did more than his share about complaining about the price of butter! Ha!

We're getting ready and packed for Ed to attend the Pheasant Run All Canada Show in Chicago this next week. I'll stay home with the dogs this trip. Speaking of dogs, our little yellow lab Caliber has torn a ligament in her knee and we are busy preparing her for a surgery on the knee in a couple of weeks. Her post op care will prove to be difficult, as she has a full two weeks of being down 24/7 and then 6 weeks of very slow and careful physical therapy. We're hoping to have her up and about and back to normal by opening of the fishing season. She is getting some injections into the knee and also having some laser therapy right now. If you remember, the same thing happened to our chocolate lab, Muskie. The same ortho surgeon worked on her as well, so we have full confidence in this great man that he can make our little Cali "back to normal!" Muskie has had a great winter, and staying healthy. Cooper, is well, just Cooper so he is ALWAYS great and happy!

We'd like to thank you all for the wonderful Christmas cards and holiday greetings we received! It's so fun to hear from so many of you and see the beautiful photos of you and your family members. Our Tetu photos even made it onto the covers of some of these cards and we will cherish these great shots! We love being included in your news and photos.

I'm sure this comes as no surprise, but Tetu could sure use your help in the coming season with reservations. We appreciate all of your referrals for Tetu and will make it worth your while if you can help! In this economy today, it's so important for people to feel they get their "money's worth" and I can assure you that we at Tetu can deliver that! Our staff understands the terms "service" and "customer relations" better than anyone in this business and every single one of you are important to all of us at Tetu Island Lodge. These past couple of years have proven to be a very tough time in this industry and it is only because all of our very loyal guests that we are still able to continue on at Tetu. Many resorts in Canada are closed or for sale and we are so fortunate to be able to plan on the fast approaching season!

If you are planning on reserving a trip with us, we are hoping you will call or e mail soon with some possible dates. We'd still love to give you last year's rates, so hurry before Ed gets on the road. We worked closely with our accountants these past couple of years in order to keep our costs down ,which in return gives you a better trip for your money!

If any of you have any comments, suggestions or ideas for us at the resort, please let us know! We love hearing from you and are always listening on how we can make your fishing adventure different!

Our entire staff is enjoying their winter off and we're looking forward to their return this season. All have been invited back for another year and we are hoping to add one or two more for the season at Tetu.

I'm hoping all of you are staying warm! (I'm not even going to go into that one this week!) It's too miserable to discuss, as most of you know I am NOT fond of living back in Minnesota during these winters-:) Hopefully, we'll see some of you during the shows in Chicago and here in Minneapolis. Have a good week, spend some quality time with your family, take a look at your 2010 calendar and plan a trip back so see us this year!! Gee, I sound a little bossy, eh?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!

We hope that all of you are finding the time to spend quality time with your families and friends! It seems that it is always such a busy time of year between the shopping, baking and decorating!

Our Minnesota weather up until the last couple weeks has been warm and beautiful! We have enough snow on the ground for the holidays and if it were up to me, I say, "enough!"

Just returned from a visit to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with our oldest son and Ed's sister and family. The weather was awesome and it's always fun to see our family. It's been 5 years since we left Florida and moved back to Minnesota but it seemed like we never left when we were down there!

Ed and I will be attending a few sportshows beginning early January. We're hoping that we will be able to help fill our reservation book for the upcoming season. We still have plenty of openings, so we are hoping to hear from many of you soon!

I feel a little more organized this holiday season than the past-Shopping is finished, decor was up before we left for Florida so we wouldn't have to do it when we got home and I am already beginning our second round of the holiday baking this weekend! We're staying home alone this year for Christmas and getting together with our children the week after Christmas so I feel I have that "extra time" this year! It's great! Ed and I are feeling especially "blessed" this year, as we know in this economy, we are some of the lucky ones. We LOVE our business of owning Tetu Island Lodge, we have wonderful and loyal guests and a staff second to none! We are determined to continue to strive to bring all of you the BEST we can give to each and every one of you when it comes to fulfilling your expectations.

Daughter Kate is in the process of moving into a townhouse so we have been busy helping her. Scott is still selling real estate and managing to keep his head above water! Our son J.B. is in the hospitality business, so now is his busy time in Southwest Florida. My mom is doing great in Kansas City and Ed's mother in Iowa is also doing well, so we have many things to be thankful for this year!

I'm thrilled with the outcome of our new Tetu Brochure, and if any of you would like another copy or if you know of anyone who would like one, just e mail me! We love to spread the word about us and appreciate all of your referrals that you provide to us.

Thanks to all of you who follow all of our Tetu News and web site!

Ed and I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season!
