    newHickLogoThank you to Kenneth Arnold, Class of 1965, for contacting us. Although the biography was hidden on the website, we thought our readers would like to read about The Dynamics, so we are featuring it here this month. We have a new article from Dr. Kumpikas and a new addition to Ron Wencer's Ancient Hixtory: an article about Leon Galloway! The Hicksville Gregory Museum is in financial distress. Thank you to Ryan Vicino for the article and information about how you can help.  We are happy our readers are using the Member Comments, and they appear at the end of this month's newsletter.  When you are logged into the site, scroll to the bottom of an article and leave us a comment!
