Memories
From Anita Basich
I was sorry to hear of the passing of my long time friend Jack. My late husband Bob & I enjoyed sharing a long time friendship with he & Virginia while they were living here in Aberdeen. A witty gentleman with a kind heart. After Virginia's passing he spent more time in Palm Desert so only saw him on business when he came to Aberdeen. Always enjoyed that time with him. My heartfelt sympathy to the families & Elaine.

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Jack. Jack was a Mason in Grays Harbor Lodge #52. He was a 50 + year member. He may have been a member of the Scottish Rite also. He will be missed by our members.

What a kind man, Jack was. Always had an eager, friendly smile on his face. I will try to find inspiration in the memory of this positive, happy person who touched my life briefly. Thinking of you Auntie Elaine.

You will also need to be careful with citrus fruit because they have a
lot of citric acid in them. Most high functioning juicers will cost somewhere in the range of $200 to $2,000.
When compared to a centrifugal juicer, you will see that the juices from this masticating juicer are much darker because of the way it extracts all parts of
the vegetable instead of just the juice.
