OHIO TRIP Martha Dignan was ac­ companied by her sister, Eleanor Kordik, and her nephew, Joseph, on a long Thanksgiving vacation to Centerville, Ohio, where they were welcomed by the John Kordik family. Michael challenged Martha in many pool shooting contests and Mary, Jimmy, and Paul gave her a rough time at the scrabble table. In addition, long walks were enjoyed with John, especially after one of Bessie's many delicious meals. They also spent some time with John Kordik, Jr., and Laura who live in Kettering, Ohio.
