Woodlands Golf Club
Woodlands suffered a
tremendous loss with the death of one of its most treasured employees, Mary
ORegan. Mary worked here form the initial days right up until recently and her
presence will be dearly missed. Her lively personality, warm smile, quiet wit and
generosity to all won her many friends. She was a joy to work with, and extremely
considerate to all her fellow workers. A sad loss to all at Woodlands. Mary will be dearly
missed and all here extend our sincere condolences to her family.
To the family of Larry Lacken, a
member of Woodlands golf Club, we offer our sincere sympathy at his untimely passing.

our sincerest sympathy.

Old Cow
In deference to your great bulk
I stepped aside
And by the nose
Led you to a chilly barn
To feed and nourish
The beasts soul -
Heard your feet
Upon cobbles creep
Into the long ago -
And felt the rough
Warmth of your breath
Your dribbling chewing
Ecstasy of rest.
