RECALLED...FROM .SOUTH AFRICA (Continued from page 1) After a year at Cook County hospital and a summer as a camp counselor in Michigan, Miss deGreef returned to South Africa. But with hopes of earning a Master's degree and finding op­ portunities for a career, she returned to the U.S. in 1952. She had to wait 18 months or go through the red tape of applying for a permanent residency visa. Back for the second time, she enjoyed working at St. Lukes hospital in Chicago and going tonight school for her Master's degree. When it merged with Presbyteriafijtospital it was "Too big", she said. She asked a co-worker from Wood­ stock about the Woodstock hospital. A couple of months later the co-worker said Memorial hospital needed a dietitian. Miss deGreef applied, got the job and began JUil weeks before construction on the new Jkllchen star­ ted. r She designed her home and nad It built in Wonder Lake, where the lives today. She enjoys flower gardening, photography, lapidary (itone polishing) and classical music. She also enjoys traveling and adventure, camping and canoeing, and she owns her own camping trailer and canoe. But with all her hobbies and interests, she obviously takes pride in her department and her employees, whom she calls "very dedicated and truly interested" in the hospital. "As we went on, we became very sophisticated," she said. "We are up-to- date and need not take a back seat to any big city hospital." Her family still lives in South Africa, and she will probably visit there again, but she said it's unlikely she will move back. "I like the freedom of living here," she said. "It's so much more formal there, and here I can choose whatever style of life I like".

The association includes the five conservation districts of Vermillion, Macon, Putnam, Boone and McHenry counties. Approximately 25 delegates are expected to attend the conference. We found a reminder experienced several times before - it takee the passing of many years to truly ap­ preciate classmates. The growing up years - the striving-to-get-ahead years - the child raising years --• all of them were behind. These classmates, and some of their former teachers, were sharing memories of another time, memories that became more treasured with the passing of time. Yes, it was a good weekend. And if the ducks were hurried along, and the garden was dying in the crispnees of Monday morning, it was just Mother Nature telling us we were approaching beautiful October.

Questions And Answers Genealogical Format MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) running a poor second to "something different". And that "something dif­ ferent" was not always in good taste by standards we had always known. Now, in 1981, the judges made a comment to conclude the adjudication of one particular first place award "best of all -- good grammar". Very encouraging! With thoughts of the convention still providing an inspiration, we returned to McHenry to attend the 1946 MCHS class reunion. "Questions and Answers" will be the format for the Oct. 8 meeting of the McHenry Genealogical society. This will be an opportunity for family researchers to ask questions and receive answers from those in the group who are most familiar with the particular phase of genealogy relating to the question. Genealogy is the third most popular hobby in the world. The local society fint^ evidence of that popularity in the the phenomenal growth of its mem­ bership since it began last spring. A total of 131 charter members from all walks of life and representing numerous states, including over 80 local members, make up the mem­ bership. Charter memberships are available until Dec. 31 of this year. Charter membership will entitle those who hold it, to receive certain advantages, such as a lower membership rate in future years. Family memberships are also available. An important project now being launched is the transcription of the 1860 McHenry county federal census. Participating members fill out index cards for each family, with the in­ formation available oh microfilm. These cards will then be on file at the state archives in Springfield. An in­ dexed printed census will also be published by the society in order to make it readily available to. those researching family ancestry in McHenry county.

During long winter months families often gathered in the evening to peel, quarter and core apples for drying. / According to the written recollections of Greenwood pioneer George A. Hunt, who was born near Tyron's Corners in Hebron township in 1863, their "old orchard of 30 acres was an endless source of joy from the pink clouds of its blossom time to the rich fruitage of autumn. It ministered to our every sense. This old orchard was a favorite resort during the entire summer season. It was a delightful place to hunt bird's nests, and from time to time to test the many varieties of apples growing there".
