RELEASE NOTES:

To the Book cemetery for a well earned rest. The book has been read over and over again, and is now filthy with grease. Well it was good to get the men reading, even if it took the sacrifice of a book.

Who would have thought that a book about horticulture would have been so well received? Please re-read the previous journal entry; there it is in black and blacker... "the book has been read over and over". Herewith, for your edification with regard to the book's title...

ra·toon also rat·toon (ră-tūn')
n. A shoot sprouting from a plant base, as in the banana, pineapple, or sugar cane.

v., -tooned, -toon·ing, -toons.

v.intr. To produce or grow as a ratoon.

v.tr. To propagate (a crop) from ratoons.

[Spanish retoño, sprout, from retoñar, to sprout : re-, again (from Latin; see re–) + otoñar, to grow in autumn (from otoño, autumn, from Latin autumnus; see autumn).]

Because of the book's title and such we thought it best that this particular item be cremated; if we were to inter it, who knows what mischief it might have gotten up to. I mean, we can't have little booklets sprouting up everywhere now can we?

Following a very well attended Memorial Service held in the Chapel of Sighs the ashes of the three departed Reading Companions were released to the four winds down by the Pool of Rememberance as the Choir gave a moving rendition of "Jump in my Car".

Chief Mourner was woosang who sang the solo section of the Memorial song. The Management and Staff of the Book Cemetery extend sincere condolences at this sad time.

R.I.P.

A joint Memorial Service with journal/2874182 and journal/2874293.
