Irv’s Lucky Slot Machine
By Jeremy Thio

Back in 2018, I had the pleasure of visiting Irv and
Cheri Reisman at their home in Anaheim Hills.
They have a rare sense of hospitality that one
does not encounter much these days. Irv was
eager to entertain me with his lucky antique slot
machine, which he bought through the Penny
Saver, and he encouraged me to take it for a spin
– literally. It was quite a blast! Quarters came
flying out of the bottom. I wish I had that much
luck at a casino!

Annual Stars and Stripes Mass
By Anne Evans

9 November 2019: The Stars and Stripes Mass is an annual salute to the military at St.
Martin de Porres Church, Yorba Linda. The pastor, Father Sy Nguyen, was a child
during the Vietnam War, where both his parents were killed. He escaped by boat when
he was fourteen years old and eventually became a United States citizen. He continues
to be a dedicated and proud American, giving thanks for the assistance America gave to
his country during the war.

Mass. Bravo Zulu to Mrs. Evans for being
the only servicemember to wear her cover
outside.
