Santa Rosa, CA. ~ Quite a few years ago, I had the dis- tinct hohor of meeting two very awesome individuals; Pe- ter & Mary Menth. I believe it was teaching cartoons at the Charles M. Schulz Museum & Research Center that I had the pleasure of speaking to two docents, who sparkled. A sparkle that not only made an impression, but made me feel like I was related to them and part of their family. Im- mediately I struck up a conver- sation and they embraced the concept of Upbeat Times and what we were about. A positive way of life, dedicated to having fun, treating people kindly and entertaining them at the same time.

Before you knew it, they in- vited us to eat food with their very large loving family. I felt as though I was adopted...truly. As time went by, they asked me one day, ‘Can we help dis- tribute the Upbeat Times?’. Immediately I said ‘Yes, of course!’ Up until May 2015 they have been delivering the Upbeat Times to the Wind- sor & Airport areas as volun- teers and are now retiring. I am very thankful for all they have helped with and for their longtime friendship. I wanted to mention them publically be- cause they are very special to me. We are Peter, Paul & Mary. For those of you who know
