Merry Christmas, IDSers!! Enjoy the Holiday Season with those near and dear, grab some egg nog…or some rock candy with Rye without the rock candy, and then settle in to listen to this year’s IDS Special. It’s a seasonal tale from a classic episode of The Whistler radio series entitled Three Wise Guys. So it is time to take stock of the year just gone by, and reminisce about the people whom you spent it with. Now, pour a drink, sit down in your comfy chair, and listen to our Christmas card to you!! Enjoy!!
