fago Tweniy THE McHgWRY PLAlNPEALER V Thursday, May 17, 1962 ^ Sunnyside Estates HONOR, CHILDREN WHO RECEIVED FIRST COMMUNION Joan Walczynski - 885-310)5 <• A most beautiful and impressive ceremony marked the beginning of a big day for seven of our youngsters. Dolores .Bierchen, Kelly Bute, Donald Gerstein, Steve Farley, Sieve Kuntz, Eric Mikkelsej[i and Diane Voight received their First Holy Communion at the eight-thirty Mass at St. John's church r>n Sunday, May 6./I might add 'that Terri Radtke and our own little Stan were two of the eight "Angels" that escorted the Communicants from their pew's up to the altar. You'd never believe that seven year old boys could look so very angelic; but they diri, all of them. The girls looked like little brides in their white dresses ana veils; one was prettier than the cfther. And when they sang there was hardly a dry eye in the church. This special day was celebrated with parties and dinners for the Communicants. Dorothy and Ted Bierchen hosted a buffet dinner for their daughter, Dolores, .with the following guests in attendance: Grandma Ahearn and Grandma Bierchen, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Phillips. Mrs. Vrablik, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rohrer, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jost and family. Naturally, Dolores' sister and brother, Diane and Teddy, were there as well. I'm sorry to report, however, that Frank Phillips took ill at the party and ended up in McHenry hospital on Monday. Following a series of tests, etc., it was discovered that he has pneumonia, &nd they can't tell just how long he will have to slay. Mrs. Phillips will be staying with ^the'Bierehens until he is released from the hospital and able to return home. Katherine and Legs Bute entertained quite a few guests for dinner to help Kelly celebrate his big day. They included brother Ken and his wife, Lydia, and their friends, Dennis and Carol Wirth, and their aby, plus two of Katherine's sHsters and their families, Babette and Martin Galantha, and son. Allan; and Marie and Harvey Bergstrom and children, Randy, Sue and Scotjty. Of course, Kelly's sisteVs, Kcfeyle and Kim, were also present. Young Steve Farley's party was more or less postponed. The relatives who had planned on coming out for the day, ran into car trouble and couldn't make it, so they'll do their best to make it next weekend instead. The Farleys enjoyed the day nonetheless. Dolores and Don Gerstein hosted a celebration for son, Donald, with a buffet dinner for family and friends. Those attending were Grandma and Grandpa Watson from Algonquin; Grandma a n d Grandpa Gerstein from Fox Lake; Donald's Godfather and his wife, Mr: and Mrs. Fred Schaer, from Fox Lake; his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. James Hoffman, from Island Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Wetzel from Elmwood Park: and his^-Great^ grandmother. Mrs. Joseph Berendt, as well as his aunt, Jewel Berendt, and his uncle, John Berendt, all three being from Chicago; and we don't want to forg-it sister, Kathyi" Eric Mikkelsen was. feted with quite a gathering in his honor. His folks, Loretta and Bob, hosted a buffet dinner for friends and relatives. The celebration was enjoyed by Mary Ann and Paul Groh, Edna and Clarence Sievert, Toots and Bob Sievert and children, Scotty and Karen, all of whom were from Chicago; Eric's Godmother and family, Peg ni I and Bob Darling, and daughters, Paulette, Terese and Mary, as well as Grandma Darling, from Des Plaines; Joan and Ed R^smussen and stins, Ricky and Mark, from Libertyville; and the Babarsky, Bieschke, Gore, Jost and Walczynski families from our own locale. Grandma and Grandpa Hojtfodt being right next "door made it a nice day, and unfortunately yours truly and family had to leave early in order to make a trip into Chicago and as I understand it we missed quite a jam session. Young Eric is, learning^b play the accordion, so he and Grandpa Holtfodt along with Mr. Gore got out their squeezeboxes and Bob Sievert got going on the guitar and, darn it, I had to miss it! June and Ted Voight were proud to give a party for daughter, Diane. Guests included Grandma and Grandpa Price and aunts, Judy, Carol and Mary Price; Grandma and Grandpa Voight; and Diane's Godmother and family, Mary and Ray Rhodes and daughter, Susan. Jufre's good" friends, Florence Kanter and Pat Bott, made Diane's dress and it was out of this world. The day was thoroughly enjoyed by all and I know seven youngsters who 6went to bed that night happier than they'd ever been in their life. street, where just the, nicest couple live. Mary and Herman Mooha are the folks. They came here from Chicago in October of 1959. Mr. Mooha is retired _ now .but before retiring he worked for a crane company for forty-two years. Maiy and Herman were married in 1920 and have four fine spns, three of whom live in Chicago and _ one lives in Downers Grove. The Moohas enjoy the home and living in it as just one look will prove. She keeps the inside nice and pretty and he keeps the outside trim and neat. T h ey are wonderful neighbors and we're glad they came to Sunnyside Estates to live.

Sick List We were awfully sorry to leam of Florence Ranter's illness and especially the fact that she would have to be away from home for some little while. I'm sure it will be hard for active Florence to just take it 'easy as she must-, so some of her friends have decided to drop around to her other ftiends and neighbors to lind out if they might want to pitch in for something for Florence, just to let her know we miss her and wish her well. The day chosen for this is Sunday, May 20. In the meantime, anyone who would like to send a card or letter can address it to Florence at Lake County SanitoVium, Waukegan, 111. Another one on our sick list this week is Jim Stevens, who entered Wesley Memorial hospital on May 7 and underwent surgery on the eighth. Mrs. Kimbro tells me she has talked to him by phone and he is up a little. By the time you read this he will probably be home or close to it. Get well quickly, the both of you. Girl Scouts Troop 295 spent their weekly meeting planning their little program for presentation at the Johnsburg School P.T.A. They also finished their gifts for Mother's Day and started their burners and bags for the camping trip.

Donald Gerstein won for the first -second-third grade group. The big one was held on May 8 at St. Thomas' school in Crystal Lake and Don stood up until fifth to the last /ind this is going some, I think, because Don is in second grade and all of the others but one were third graders. Congratulations, Don! Home Again Kappiness reigns supreme in the Kropf household these rinyy. Son, George, was recently discharged from the United States Army. Although he got to come home quite often from Fort Campbell, Ky., where he was stationed, it's not quite the same as being a civilian.

It's a funny thing. You'd think people would talk mostly about the mechanical features of the vehicle---the good ride, its power, the double-wall construction, cab comfort, or tough tailgate. These things get comment, of course, but they're consistently outnumbered by expressions of satisfaction with the dependability of a Chevrolet truck.
