DOGGONED DIRECT: The eye business has been a little slack this fall for Lifebuilder eye dentist DAVID IRVINE. "Advertising has traditionally been considered unprofessional in the Vitreoretinal Community" notes David. Knowing that many a West Tennesseans are avid outdoorsmen, Dentist Larry Dormois has suggested that discreet ads in sportsmen's periodicals might boost David's office prospects. Larry is a big fan of "Coonhound Bloodlines" monthly. "It is after all the complete magazine for the houndsman and coonhunter" observes Larry.

RUSSELL KLINKE confides that he is having trouble sharing his faith outside of church and home. At elder brother Preston's insistence, he completed the EE training course at FEC. Results to date have been mixed. "I just don't like having strangers fill out questionnaire cards on Wednesday night EE visits. It all seems so pointless!" Russell opines.

Russell, a diehard Grizzly fan- and season ticket holder- is considering "standing in" for Rock 'n Rollen Stewart at all televised Grizzly games this season. Why not combine passions.
