Hello Gentleman!

Great news, our Holiday Cabaret is all set! This year Bob Pertuso has secured Barrister Gardens for our party. Several folks have already signed up. So please be sure to join us. See Bob’s flyer in the newsletter for more information.

Speaking of Bob Pertuso, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bob for his two years of service as the Events Coordinator. The out-ings he’s planned have been educational and well attended. Most recently he arranged the Shinola Factory tour, and while I’ve yet to hear how ev-eryone enjoyed it, I know it filled up fast.

Providing us with opportunities for interesting outings takes creativity and a great deal of orga-nization. I know that Bob has had help from both Ed Benz and Tom Kneeshaw so we thank them too. But the fact remains that Bob has done an exceptional job and his service to the club has

been much appreciated.

As Bob steps down from this position, it opens up the chance for someone to share their orga-nizational skills and take on this function for the club. Please let me know if this is something you may be interested in taking on.

Staying active, involved, and engaged is critical to keeping our club vibrant. The members that take advantage of the club opportunities are extremely happy they did. Please stay active, involved and engaged.

Enjoy your club,

Marty McMillan, President

PS From the Newsletter Editor: The Shinola tour was a great experience, educational, fun, and a new place for lunch that has been around for years, Z's Villa.

Topic: Alternative Asset Class OverviewThe October 10, 2017 investment meeting focus was about MLP’s (Master Limited Partnerships) as an Alternate Asset Class investment. MLP’s can be made up of different energy pipelines that have contracts with oil producers. Oil producers pay a rental fee or pay on the amount of oil, natural gas, etc., that is being shipped through pipelines. For this reason, MLP’s can be a great addition to your income portfolio because of their cash flow proper-ties. MLP's have a small exposure to commodity prices because they are paid regardless of the com-modity price. Morgan Stanley recommends 11-13% allocation to the alternative asset class for income producing portfolios. The meeting ended with a discussion about Hedge Fund’s use in one's investment portfolio.Hedge Funds have been underperforming the S&P 500 in recent years; they tend to outperform in bear markets and underperform in bull markets and can play a specific role in one’s portfolio. These types of investments are extremely illiquid, which is one of the reasons why you must be an accredited investor to be placed in this investment vehicle. Every investor has different goals and risk tolerance which is why some investments are right for one and not appropriate for another. There will be no Investment Sub Club meet-ings for November and December, 2017. The next meeting is scheduled for January 23, 2018, 9:30 am. The Investment Club wish all a festive holiday season and a very happy new year.

SMC Golf News The SMC Golf League season ended October 5th with a banquet attended by 104 members and guests at Barrister Gardens in St. Clair Shores. $1368 in prize money was delivered to 68 golfers. Top money winner earned $102 and the lowest winner earned $1. Eighteen free rounds of golf for next sea-son were raffled. The free rounds were provided by Chandler Park (8), Golden Hawk (6) and St. Clair Shores (4) and we thank them for their generosity. A total of 830 rounds of eighteen holes were played by our ninety three League members at the three courses during the season excluding the scramble rounds. Three golfers won low net score: Dave Buck-ley with 53 at Chandler Park, J.C. Collins with 61 at Golden Hawk. and Bob Travnikar with 58 at St. Clair Shores. Each one collected $25 for his perfor-mance. Low net score is the result of the golfer’s actual score minus his handicap. There were no holes-in-one this season. Two scrambles were played during the season, mid June and mid August. Each player on the win-ning teams earned $8. June Scramble winners were as follows:Chandler Park: Milt Kodidek, George Montle, Bob Travnikar and Harve Richardson with a net score of 37. Golden Hawk: Mark Jahnke, Jim Regan, Dave Buckley and Ron Kotz with a net score of 45.St. Clair Shores: Jack Guillaumin, Bob Grant and Jim Grogan with a net score of 40. August scramble winners were: Chandler Park: Milt Kodidek, Tom Berschback, George Montle and Harve Richardson with a net score of 40. Golden Hawk: Rick Neumann, Rick Colombo, John Olmst-ed and Lou Bertani with a net Score of 43. St. Clair Shores: Russ Chavey, Joe Foerster, Mel Muchitsch and Sal Testa with a net score of 40. The golf committee announced personnel chang-es for the new season. Jim Regan replaced Steve Shrader as handicapper and programmer during the 2017 season after Steve suffered a stroke before the start of the season. The computer program that served us for twenty-five years and was developed by Ron Rudolph, a longtime committeeman, was no longer functioning well in the newer operating systems and a change became necessary. Jim re-

searched the replacement possibilities, selected one and followed the transition from the old computer program to the new one, a tedious job well done. We had a slow start this season partly caused by the weather but mostly because the new computer program required all new handicaps with no carry-overs from last season. We expect that next season will have a smoother start. Mark Jahnke, also new on the committee, will replace Nick Kondak as Secretary-Treasurer. After seventeen years, Nick is planning to retire from the committee but will continue serving as advisor while Mark learns the details. Bob Vogler continues as committee chair. The 2018 season will start in mid April with our traditional breakfast followed by golf to which everyone interested in golf is invited. Look for details in the SMC Newsletter and your email box starting in January. The committee invites sug-gestions or changes from members to improve the League and make it more satisfying and fun. Send them to Mark Jahnke at jahnke.mark@yahoo.com. Written by Nick Kondrat

SMC Bowling News We are five weeks into bowling, and we are still trying to build the size of our league. Currently we

have 7 three man teams and one phantom team with a team average of 420.

Our members range in age from 60 to 92, and our bowling scores range between 90 and 190. Any new members will fit in nicely with our group of good fel-

lows. We need substitute bowlers who roll 3 games for a

cost of 6 dollars. Team members bowl for 11 dollars, and half that money goes toward prize money that is divided at our season ending banquet in early May. Currently the high game score is held by Mike

Freid with a 245. John Onstwedder has a 113 pin over agerage score. Holy smoke!!

If you are interested in joining us in the long win-

ter days, come to Harbor Lanes any Thursday at 12 noon. Harbor Lanes is on Jefferson north of 10 Mile. For more information, contact Bob Vogler at 313-

In September, Past President 2004-2005 George Arsenault spoke on “Cicero’s Essay on Old Age.”

“Some men are born old, and some never seem so.” so said Tryon Edwards (1809-1894)

The essay was written in the year 44 BC by a Roman Lawyer and Politician. Cicero’s was influenced by the three Greek Philosophers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle in the 300-400 BC era. These Greek philosophers taught that righteous living was God’s design for our happi-ness. Aristotle noted that man, by nature, desires two things: the desire for food and the desire for knowledge. Unlike the animals that have no desire for knowledge, we can plan to acquire our education to satisfy our desire for our knowledge” Thus Aristotle’s said, “The unplanned life is not worth examining.” Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Therefore, we should examine and plan our lives. Cicero’s Essay was used as a tool in teaching Greek and Latin in many Universities. The study of Greek and Latin was a major requirement in all Universities prior to the nineteen hundreds. In the year 1744, Benjamin Franklin published James Logan’s English translation of “Cicero’s Essay on Old Age.” It was the first printing of classical text in North America. It was a favorite of former U.S. President John Adams and was selected for inclusion in the Harvard Classics along with philoso-phers, Descartes, Voltaire and Rousseau. The Harvard Classics is a 51-volume anthology of works from world literature, compiled and edited by Harvard University President Charles W. Eliot published in the year 1910.Old age is something that every one of us hopes to obtain when we are young. We live our lives trying to maintain our health, visiting doctors to examine us hopefully to eventually obtain old age. But when old age arrives, we often deny it. We dye our gray hair and we do not want to tell anyone our age. We try to look young and act young. Cicero said that old age is a gift from God for our happiness and we should joyfully enjoy it. Cicero said that there are four stages in our life, and God has planned our happiness for each of these stages of life including old age. (1.) The feebleness of children should be happy time. (2.) The high spirit of youth is en-joyable, and (3.) The soberness of mature years should

be joyous years, and finally, (4.) The ripe wisdom of old age should guarantee our happiness. Cicero says that they all have a certain natural advantage for happiness which should be secured and planned as Aristotle had advised. Righteous living in each proper season brings happiness for each of the four parts of our lives. Righteous and virtuous living, active exercise, and temperance, can also preserve some part of one’s former strength. Agility and the joy of happy righteous living in all seasons and even in old age can bring happiness. Cicero advises us to look after our health, use moderate exercise, take just enough food and drink to recoup, but not to overload our strength. Nor is it the body alone that must be supported, but the intellect and the soul needs much more support. The intellect and the soul are also like lamps; unless you feed them with oil, they too will go out from age and cause unhappiness. Old age may require us to abstain from extravagant banquets and late hour parties; but it is still capable of enjoying modest festivities. Cicero has always remained a member of a “club.” He dines at their feast with the members of his club regularly and on the whole with moderation. There is certain warmth of temperament and enjoyment of associating and conversing with good friends. Friendship is the best happiness that we really seek in all ages of our life but especially in our old age. Happiness is from the Comradery of our associating with our friends and our love ones. As Aristotle said, that the man who plans for his happy righteous life may possibly become old in body, but, in mind, he will never grow old. He will always be eternally young and die a happy death.

The Reading ListJohnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo

Dalton Trumbo (1909-1976) was best known as a screenwriter and was perhaps the most famous member of the “Hollywood Ten,” a group who refused to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activi-ties in 1947. They were convicted of contempt of Con-gress, sent to prison for a year, and blacklisted upon their release. In addition to Oscar-winning screenplays, Trumbo wrote novels, plays, essays and non-fiction works. A recent biopic of his life, “Trumbo,” garnered an Oscar nomination for Bryan Cranston as lead actor in the title role.

“Johnny Got His Gun” was written in 1938 and published just before World War II began. The novel won one of the early National Book Awards: the Most Original Book of 1939. Although neglected during World War II and the years that followed, it became an important text for the anti-war movement of the 60’s and 70’s. Over the years, it has been adapted for several radio and stage plays, and in 1971, a feature-length film starring Jason Robards, Timothy Bottoms, and Donald Sutherland. The movie was directed by Dalton Trumbo. The novel has been part of many high school curricula and is still taught today.

The book tells the story of Joe Bonham, a working-class kid who, like Trumbo, grew up in Colorado and moved to Los Angeles, working a night shift in a bakery while attending high school. When the US entered World War I, Joe enlisted despite the pleas of his girlfriend that he run away to avoid the draft. He was sent to France and served with the infantry in the trenches until the last day of the war, when he was hit by an artillery shell.

The book begins with Joe waking up in a hospital and slowly realizing that his arms and legs and most of his face are missing. He cannot see, hear, speak, taste or smell, and has trouble determining whether he is dead or alive, and if alive, whether he is awake or

dreaming. Told in Joe’s first person narrative voice in a stream of consciousness style without a lot of punctua-tion, the story switches between hospital scenes as he struggles to cope with his situation and his memories of his earlier life. The first part of the book, titled The Dead, covers the hardship of Joe’s upbringing and the horror of trench warfare. The final chapter in this sec-tion is a powerful condemnation of war and the elites who favor and benefit from it. Joe attempts to recall the reasons he went to war without a full understand-ing of what was involved. He doesn’t think anyone is willing to die for freedom, liberty, democracy, honor, decency or any other noble idea.

“There’s nothing noble about dying. Not even if you die for honor. Not even if you die the greatest hero the world ever saw…The most important thing is your life little guys…Pay no attention when they tap you on the shoulder and say come along we’ve got to fight for liberty or whatever their word is there’s always a word.”

The second part of the book is titled The Living and includes some of the happier times in Joe’s life. He begins to cope with his current condition and attempts to communicate with his doctors.

The Readers agreed that this book was not an easy read, but felt it was worthwhile and not something they would soon forget. Some struggled with the writing style and found its message somewhat repetitive, but we all agreed that we were glad we had read it. The book sparked a discussion among the Readers on their experiences with anti-war movements, the concept of a “good war,” and the ethics of assisted suicide.

Join us on November 21st at 5 pm to discuss “Beer Money” by Frances Stroh. We will meet at the home of Bob Wrosch, 22801 Lakeshore Drive, St. Clair Shores RSVP to (313) 310-8097.
