Golden Triangle Cores DearTWT: On February 16, the Sundowner hosted "Heart of Hearts," a benefit for the Triangle AIDS Network. Over $1,600 and 30 boxes and bags of groceries were raised to stock our pantry and provide direct services to those affected by HIV in our community. We thank Fred Angelle and the staff of the Sundowner, Cassidy of Muscles in Action, and all those behind the scenes who made the benefit a success.

PAGE 70 TWT FEBRUARY 28 - MARCH 5 1992 A wise man once said: "A friend is all your prayers answered." A ROSE WAS A ROSE Khalil Gibran When I was ten years old, I gave my mom a rose, Growing in a plastic pot. $2.98 was quite a lot. I dug a hole by our back stair, And gently planted it right there. As summer came and quickly passed, That tiny rose bloomed full at last. Then the winter came around, Snow would soon be on the ground. Frozen clouds would fill the sky, And I just knew that rose would die. So when the first white blanketfell, That rose was covered deep and well. I dug it out, I gave it air, Icleared it off and left it bare. But little did I know, As I cleared away that snow, I'd sentenced death upon that rose, For late that night it simply froze. I'd taken its one chance away, As I stripped it of its quilt that day. I learned a lesson late that night, About sometimes holding on too tight. If life and love will thrive and grow, Just like roses in the snow, The lesson that by now you know, It's best, at times, to just let go. -Joe Wayman Joey Marz A man who touched all our hearts with his impetuous sense of adventure and insatiable zeal for life.
