Area Children Proud Of Picture With Ron Santo With the bitter cold and snow that we've had the past week, very few people's thoughts turn to baseball. But one little gal in our subdivision constantly thinks of this great sport and her idol, Ron Santo, captain of the Chicago Cubs. Last June on her birthday, Eileen Connell was fortunate enough to go to Wrigley Field, get into the Cub dug-out and have her picture taken with Ron and several other Cub players. Sunday night, Jan. 16, the Cub baseball team, who during the winter months play exhibition basketball games, played the Crystal Lake Babe Ruth All- Stars in Crystal Lake. Eileen's big brother, John, surprised her with tickets and took her to the game. After the game, the players made themselves available for autographs and Eileen had the thrill of onpe again meeting her "idol" and showed him the picture they had taken together in Wrigley Field. She was thrilled beyond words that he remembered her and autographed the picture for her. Other Cub favorites that she saw were Don Kessinger, Glenn Beckert, Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins, Kenny Holtz- man, Phil Regan, J.C. Martin and Kenny Rudolph. MARGE CONNELL TO BE CORRESPONDENT As you probably noticed, the title to our column now includes two names, that of myself, and now Marge Connell. It has been difficult for me lately to gather enough weekly information to write our column. I don't seem to have enough time with a new baby in the house, to be spending on the phone. So I've asked Marge to share the responsibility with me. So between the two of us, we hope to make this a longer and more interesting column for our subdivision. However, we still need your help. Please give us a call whenever you have something newsworthy. So many of the neighbors go on vacations and even though the rest of us may get jealous, (just kidding), we all would like to hear about it. We also would like to hear of any new neighbors moving into the subdivision, activities your children are involvechin, etc. So please do remember to call us. ANNIVERSARY WISHES Belated, but very sincere anniversary wishes go to two of the nicest people in our sub­ division. Elmer and Earline Mettelka celebrated their silver wedding of Saturday, Dec. 18. A white orchid, family dinner at a local restaurant and wishes from their many friends highlighted the day for them. MARCH OF DIMES During the next few weeks, a volunteer will be knocking at your door looking for a March of Dimes donation. Please be as generous as possible as your donations have helped combat the horrible disease of polio and much research must continue to put an end to the many other diseases that are still striking and plaguing many families. HOLIDAY TRAVELERS Looking suntanned and very refreshed is Leon, Leone, Kim and Michelle Kathan as they just returned from a five day jaunt to Honolulu, Oahu, in the Hawaiian Islands. They stayed at a beautiful hotel on the shores of Waikiki Beach and while there visited Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian Cultural Center and viewed Diamond Head volcano, one of the best known sights in Hawaii. For two days, things looked rather dismal as the airlines had misplaced all their luggage, but it gave Leone a good excuse to buy a few things, including new bathing suits for the family. Highlight of the trip was Leone's personal meeting of Don Ho, famous Hawaiian crooner, and having her picture taken with him. It was truly hard for all of them to say "Aloha" upon leaving our fiftieth state. Wilma, Jack, Jeannie, Ruth Ellen and Jim Brady Galbreath travelled to Detroit, Mich , to spend the holidays with Wilma's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shelton They were there for ten days and it was especially nice for Wilma as it was her first time home for Christmas in nine years. It gave her a chance to really catch up on a lot of news visiting with her folks and family of five brothers and three sisters as she is the oldest in a family of nine children. Wilma arrived back in Holiday Hills with a beautiful case of laryngitis stating it was due to a cold, but getting together with a family like that, it was probably due to too much "gabbing." OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS The Mettelka household is very quiet these days with their two children away at college. They certainly don't have to worry as to what these two students are doing, however, as Ray made the Dean's List at Wisconsin State University in Stevens Point and Rita Ann did likewise at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Congratulations Ray and Rita Ann, and keep up the good work! GET-WELL WISHES A very speedy recovery to Jimmie Justes, who is in the hospital again for the second time in two months, this time with a broken leg. She slipped and fell at the Richmond Country Club, and landed in Woodstock hospital, where she would appreciate hearing from her friends and neighbors. Two patients recently home from hospital stays also receive our good wishes for a speedy recovery. Tommy Cornwell came home last Thursday from Shriner's hospital in Chicago following knee surgery. He hopes to return to school next week. Kiki Hughes spent a few days this past week in Harvard hospital, having her tonsils out. At last word she was doing fine, but here's wishing both Tom and Kiki get-well messages.
