" Dear Sir: .' ; I recently received an invitation and program for the celebration on August 1 and while it has been many years since I was a resident of the "old home town" and I am too far away from there to attend the celebration, I thought it only proper that I acknowledge the invitation. While the people in attendance would be, for the most part, strangers ' to me, 1 would enjoy being there. I was born in McHenry in 1873 and frienSs,-has been a great comfort to me. As we growf older, we find ourselves living over again the pleasant days of our youth, and recalling the childhood associations of dear friends. My sister , ^speaks of the "Mary Griswold" of those days. I have a picture of the old boat, that toqjc so many gay parties to the lakes in those days. I am sending it to you for your exhibit. It was a gift from our Captain McHill, whom we all liked so well.

Do ity to each of its members Do any of you remember wher> Mr. John Evanson ran a clothing, dry goods and grocery store on north side of Main street in West McHenry and' Mr. Chet Stevens ran one of like ilk on^the south side of the street? Do you recall how Mr. Evanson would call out in his musical tones, "Berries, berries, nice fresh strawberries." Then Mr. Stevens would call back in Vike manner, "I do." Before they'd-get through they would be singing duets. Anniversary as, I fear, not many of us will be present at the next celebration. So sorry our brother, George, you remember later, Charlie Johnson, who claimed to wear a "yellow jacket" when he was looking for a "job" workout and 1 pick the red clover blossoms alone i the roadside and the railroad track aind received two cents a pound. About once a year a circus came to townand pitched its tent on the grounds where now the public school 'stands. Well do I remember the day several of us /girls stood together longing to see the circus but hadn't the money fcr it. When along comes the circus man's wife and spied little Elsie Schumacher and told her to go and spea tt> a certain man whom she pointed out and she was sure he would take us in.
