letter which outlines the ex-
citing details of our conven-
tion.
You may be proud of your-
self, as fewer than four per-
cent of our worldwide con-
stituency are eligible for a
presentation at our conference.
Naturally, with the mega-star
celebrities and poets in at-
tendance this year, we expect
media coverage like we have
had in the past - "Entertain-
ment Tonight, " "USA Today, "
etc. So please be prepared to
talk about yourself in the event
you are interviewed.
Due to my age and health
this may be in all likelihood
the last convention I am able
to attend, and I do so want you
to be there for our biggest and
best event ever. I want you
to sign my autograph book, and
take pictures with me for World
of Poetry’s archives. Indeed,
I will take you and your guests
to lunch on the afternoon of
Sept. 6, during our Master
Workshop Series lunch break,
as my personal guests. In the
event you are unable to attend
the conference, I will send
you a certificate acknowledging
you as a Golden Poet for 1992. "

Congratulations to Jesse Lee Ford who recently had a poem chosen
for presentation at the Eighth Annual Poetry Convention which will
be held in San Francisco in September. Jesse received the following
letter:
"The Executive Committee of our distinguished Board of Directors
has chosen your poem FOREVER WIND from those submitted to us
during the past year to be eligible for a presentation at our conven-
tion. You will be honored as a Golden Poet and receive a beautiful
Golden Poet Trophy.
Formal presentations are scheduled to take place at the San Fran-
cisco Hilton in San Francisco, Sunday evening, Sept. 6 at 8 P. M.,
' during our Golden Poets’ Round-Robin and Medal of Honor Presen-
tation. After you have read your poem aloud, you will be pre-
sented with your beautiful Golden Poet Trophy and inducted into the
prestigious Homer Honor Society of International Poets. The Aca-
demy Awards limits recipients to one minute. We allow you more
time because we want your audience to hear the poem for which
you have been honored. Indeed, your presentation will be video-
taped live so it may be presented later on our television series,
"Poetryland - The Wonderful World of Poetry, " during one of our
"Poet’s Corner" segments.
Many poets will be attending alone; many with guests. Either way
we can accommodate you. I have enclosed a copy of our news-

FOREVER WIND
The wayward wind is a restless
wind
Cursed by the minds and souls
of men
A lonely wind that yearns to
wander /
My soul has ever wandered over
yonder
To the next hill, the next
beautiful valley
Through the canyon streets of
cities and alleys
The country hills and down the
lanes
Through fields of apples, fruits
and grain
A restless soul that yearns to
wander
To forever and ever to be over
yonder
The next of kin to the lonely
wind
My soul and the wind are a
curious blend
Soft and gentle and almost
utterly mild
Now harsh and mean, cold and
wild
Cursed by men to ever be
yonder
Sentenced to, forever more
wander
Lonely, restless, to evermore
roam
Far from the comforts of hearth
and home
My soul is twin and the next of
kin
To the restless, wayward,,
lonely wind.

I want to thank Mrs. Edith
Osmer of Salt Flat for inviting
me to the fireworks at their
place (Friday, 3rd, 9 p. m.).
Mrs. Osmer and her husband
Richard, and family are from
Vermont, and she says that
they are enjoying living in
Texas. Mrs. Osmer is a poet
and one of her poems appeared
in a recent issue of the Hud-
speth County Herald.
The Osmer’s son, Victor, whc
was in the Saudia Arabia con-
flict, has recently returned
from Germany. Victor has
been in the armed services
for seven years.

Ed Ardoin who was buried recently with high military honors in the
Fort Bliss National Cemetery, was one of a kind. The world is a
better and happier place by his having passed this way. He had an
appeal for and affection for people of all walks of life. Presidents
and peasants called him their friend. We met the Ardoin family,
Ed, Stella and their daughter, Shirley Jo, a good many years ago
we became friends. Our granddaughter Lisa Latimer Connors who
met Mr. Ardoin about 25 years ago, now lives in New Hampshire.
On Lisa’s last visit to this area about five years ago, the one person
she wanted to see, above all others, was Mr. Ed Ardoin. She got
to see him.
Many happy memories are recalled about Ed Ardoin. He was the
epitome of a real western gentleman. He was a gentle, courteous
and considerate man, and I always looked up to him as one of the
vanishing breed of pioneer cattlemen. It was a thrill for me to be
in his presence, and hear him tell great stories of the early days in
the cattle business. He told some of the best stories I ever heard.
Ed Ardoin, like all great men, was a busy person. He managed
the great HEARST enterprises in Mexico, and m anaged his own
ranch in Northern Culberson County, Texas, and his farm in the
lower Rio Grande Valley. In later years he was a Justice of the
Peace in Culberson County for fifteen years. Some speeders, or
other traffic violators often left his office (after paying their fine)
laughing at one of his stories.
May God rest his soul.

out Thursday afternoon (2nd).
He and his family have been
vacationing in Corpus Christi,
Texas, where Brother Charley
did some deep sea fishing.
They also visited Nova’s (Mrs.
Pierson’s) sister in Austin, and
visited Nova’s parents in Mid-
land, Texas.

Johnna Ziler flew to Mineola,
Texas (June 30th) to spend a
three-week visit with her brother
and other relatives.
I enjoyed helping Lynda Ziler

Cafe.

Dr. B. Merrell Frazer, Jr.,
J. D. and his beautiful wife,
Quing Quing came out the after-
noon of the Fourth. Quing
Quing is a native of Shanghi,
China, and Dr. Frazer is ai
native of Tyler, Texas, and is
President and Director of Sino-
tex, Inc. and is a well known
author and lecturer in the
United States and also in China.
The Frazers had been to High-
Rolls and Cloudcroft New Mex-
ico, and brought me some of
the delicious cherries which he
had picked. Dr. Frazer also
gave me a fine knife which was
m ade in China and has 7
different uses (I have found so
far) as a knife, cork screw,
screw driver, can opener, etc.
