A copy of "THE SKYLINER", a monthly san newsletter was sent to me in October 2010.  It is the October 1953 edition and is twenty six pages long.  The price was ten cents an issue or a bargain yearly rate of one dollar for twelve issues.  It contains news about the goings-on in the Wards, the Units and Surgery written by volunteer patients.  Of interest to me personally are the names of several patients mentioned in the newsletter that I met and became friends with when I was admitted in April 1955.  Page 22 shows Harold Riggle from West Alexander being admitted this month.  Harold was in the bed next to me and I got to know him and meet his family on visiting days.  He was discharged before I made meals in March 1956.     

It also gives some interesting tidbits of information such as the Library and Bookmobile schedule and a list of new library books, a list of newly admitted patients and the schedule of services for Grace Chapel.
