I wore a new one to a basketball game in the old gym in what is now known aa East Campus. Put it on a table with other clothing. You gusas it! Somebody stole it It was a cold night so I wrapped my scarf around my head and took off. Wore a new bonnet to a Notre Dame football game. The rains came. Soaked. Tried to tell Editor "Mose" that replacement should be included in my non-existent expense account. No dice. Sat through rain at a state baseball tournament in Elgin and my straw number drooped down around my face. Never will forget how Mrs. Ford Jackson laughed at the sight. Another time we went to Milwaukee to a ball game with Morrie and Catherine Clark, and the late Jack Smith and Margaret. The rest of the group left for shelter when the rsin came. Not me. The game hadn't been called. That was another ifcwpy to recover its kfcraw I Cor.. It --And, there was the time new felt to church and put it on the far side of the pew. We had to move over and the lady with me (you know, the one who is always ashamed of my old sloppy hats) sat smack down on my prize. That's why I like old hate. We tour restarurant row or rows, but never went to Jack Slaughter's Stuc's until last week. Oh, he's a slick one! He maneuvered it through Alvina. (Must admit I'll be going back).

"Brenda" tells me Lillian Glosoon and her daughter were looking for post cards with scenes of the McHenry area.

Laet week my column didn't appear scatToe I was 1,500 miles away en- ng the beautiful scenery of eUowstone park when deadline time joyi Yell r mountains, the Badlands, and the Black Hills are all very memorable, but what makes a vacation terrific are people you meet. I wanted to attend a real western rodeo, so as we pulled into Buffalo, Wyo., to get our motel for the evening we saw one advertised. After dinner off we went. This turned out to be one of my favorite parte of the trip because it wss the real thing not commercialized in the least. It was for kids, grades one through high school, and the final rodeo of the season, so the kids were giving it all they had to get their top points to win belt buckles. This was not a tourist attraction, so there we sat among all the die hard fans yelling the psrticiosnts on to victory. If yoii iw si looked the Wyoming twang ind. heartnuil the arena aa a baseball field, you would beheve you were barf in the midwest attending an AB qjfr little league game. It was terrific.
