GREGGSFLYTO SEATTLE Don, I atie, Keith, Diana and Brian will long remember their visit in Seattle, Wash., from which they just recently returned. Boarding a 747 jet which in itself was a thrill, they arrived in Seattle in a few short hours at the home of Ann and Bill Ketchum, very close friends. It was here they stayed for several days and then spent a couple of days visiting with Connie and Ed Hart, former Holiday Hills residents who also reside in Seattle. The weather was fantastic during leir stay, the temperature averaged 80 degrees and they hadpo rain. Besides visiting . and reminiscing old times with their friends, they also enjoyed several very interesting sight­ seeing trips. One was a deep sea fishing trip on a forty-seven foot chartered boat where they all caught their limit of salmon. Another boat trip which was very educational for the children was taken out into the harbor to the Navy Base to see the S.S. Missouri where the Japanese Peace Treaty was signed. A beautiful memorial has been erected honoring this historical event. This ship is kept ready for action and supplied for emergency pur­ poses also, and in the event a disaster. would occur, 2,200 people could be taken aboard and cared for. Another exciting tour was their visit to the international food bazaar which featured shops from many countries selling foods that their par­ ticular country was noted for. A whole day could be spent just wandering through and eating all the delicious and savory foods. They also visited the international shopping center where they viewed gifts, clothes and furniture from every part of the world. An airplane ride which cir­ cled around beautiful Mt. Rainer was thoroughly enjoyed by all as was their trip up into the SpaCe Needle which) is located at Seattle Center. This 600 foot tower was erected during the World's Fair and has a revolving- restaurant and observation tower on top where a beautiful view of the entire t city thrilled them all. After six delightful days, they all returned home reporting they had a wonderful time on their visit to the West Coast. CAMPERS The Stackhouse family on Sunset Drive recently ex­ perienced their first attempt at "tent camping" and all had a wonderful time. Craig, Carolyn, Craig, Jr., and Ann drove down to Southern Illinois and set up their tent at Coon Creek on the Shelbyville Reservoir. For ten days they ate, fished, swam, water-skied and loafed. The weather was beautiful and Carolyn reports the best part of it was there were no bugs. Hobo, their dog, also had a vacation. While "his family" slept in a tent in the woods, he enjoyed his "motel unit" at the kennel.

As you may know, the Chib sponsors the Brownie and Grl Scout here in Holiday Hills, summer-time swimming lessons, and also donates to the Property Owners Association for road maintenance. All this costs money, and they have had no money raising projects in several years to replace this money. Now it becomes a necessity, so they are requesting everyone's help in donating items for the sale, so that the club can once again build up its treasury, so as to donate to worthwhile projects in the future. Any saleable items will be accepted from now until Sept. 18, at either of the following addresses: PamBellon, 1513 W. Sunset Drive, or Karen Kottke, 1512 W. Poplar Street.

VISITS WISCONSIN DELLS The Maras car was really packed when Joe, Karen, Roy, Debbie, Theresa, Barbara, Patty, Tammy, Janice and Joey, Jr., piled in with sleeping bags, tent and all the camping gear that goes along but it was well worth it as they had a great time on their trip up to the Wisconsin Dells. Theyv camped at a lovely cam­ pground near the Dells with a beautiful swimming pool and when they weren't sight-seeing, you found them all in or around the pool. Highlights of their visit were the boat trips through both the Upper and Lower Dells and also a tour of Deer Park where the children especially enjoyed feeding the deer. Although Greg was unable to go along due to his job, the rest of the family was very enthusiastic about the trip when they returned three days later and all had a very enjoyable time. MOM COMES FROM PENNSYLVANIA, The Stackhouse family had a very welcome guest recently when Carolyn's mother, Mrs. Herbert Harvey, who lives in Springfield, Pa., come for a two week visit. While here she attended the county fair in Woodstock, shopped the many stores in our area, had the opportunity of meeting many Holiday Hills residents at our association picnic and also visited our McHenry Dam State Park where they all had fun feeding the ducks. Although as Carolyn puts it they did nothing really spec­ tacular while Grandma was here, it was just wonderful having her and hopes it won't be too long before they can all get together again. FAREWELL PARTY There was a lot of whispering and phone calling on a couple streets in Holiday Hills last week, but the secret was kept and the little surprise party was successfully carried out on Labor Day for Wilma and Jack Galbreath of Holiday Drive, who are moving to Sandwich, 111. Earline and Elmer Mettelka, Abbie and Jack Emerson and Marge and Jack Connell met at the home of Marge and Harvey Beth bringing "coffee and goodies" and completely surprised Wilma and Jack. The Galbreaths have resided in Holiday Hills for more than three years with their three Twice Told Tales TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 27,1962) Harry Dean, president of McHenry Rotary club, presented a check from that organization to Bert Kissling, president of the student American Field Service group at the McHenry high school The check represents the balance of $650, the greater part of which the student AFS group raised to bring a foreign student to the local school to study for a year.

Although we are all happy that they have found a lovely home in Sand- which, we are all sorry to see them leaving our community here and certainly wish them fond farewell and much hap­ piness in their new location. ONE NIGHTSTAY One big advantage in flying is the traveling time saved and when Walter and Sandy Clegg, very close friends of Craig and Carolyn Stackhouse, had a free night, they boarded a plane from their home in West Chester, Pa., and flew to Illinois to spend the night here in Holiday Hills with the Stackhouse family. Not seeing one another for over five years, they ate and talked until the wee hours of the morning and it gave them all a chance to catch up on a lot of news.
