This Christmas, members of the extended Band family decided to dress up as 19th century characters from Charles Dickens’ novels (especially, of course, A Christmas Carol.) Step back with us in time as we celebrate Yuletide the way our ancestors did!

Enid and I were delighted to meet so many of you at the World Money Show in Florida. A highlight of the Show, for us, was a cameo appearance by our granddaughter, Fiona Grace Moll, who came up to the platform in her mother Clarissa’s arms during my talk on “Where to Earn the World’s Highest, Safest Dividends.” Fiona won a bigger round of applause than her grandpa ever does!

Enid and I made our annual pilgrimage to the Las Vegas Money Show in May. (It was great to see so many of you there!) After the show, we took a short side trip to Grand Canyon National Park. We entered the park on the south side from Williams, Arizona, a town that lies smack-dab on the Mother Road, old U.S. Route 66. As you’ll see from these pictures, we too got our “kicks on Route 66.”

Europe during the last days of summer—what a great time to visit! Enid and I enjoyed ourselves immensely on the cruise, renewing old friendships with Profitable Investing subscribers and meeting lots of wonderful new people as we glided from one historic port to another. Here are some of our favorite memories. Will you be able to join us on our next trip? We’re sailing from Athens to Rome, October 17-28th, 2007. Click here for more information!

Richard and Enid’s second grandchild, Colin Edward Moll, was born June 13, 2007. His mother, our Clarissa, had started for the hospital, but Colin was in such a hurry that mom had to take an emergency detour to her midwife’s office. Colin made his appearance then and there!
