RTE. 120 IN McHENRY 385-non PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17,1M2 EARL WALSH So I Hear Whoever says there is nothing 10 do in a small town should have followed us the past w&k. We came home from the last hurrah at an early hour Sunday night, all set to write a column. There was only one drawback. I fell asleep, stretched out in that big chair. So. Here sit I at l o'clock Monday morning to knock out a column. If I didn't have an 8 o'clock appointment » come daylight, like heaven, this column could wait, u • > J A goof-up crept into our column last week on the history of McHenry. The County Seat of the newly for­ med county was here in the year 1837. Not 1937. We missed by the slim margin of 100 years! Veterans' Day in our area was observed in impressive fashion. The most impressive part for the Old Vets was seeing 84 high school students from East Campus and West joined , together as one chorus. With outstanding leadership on the . part of John Leighty and Bill Toalson, the separate groups blended together like they had been practicing for a - month. They hadn't. Shirley Smith, a real favorite of the First World War Vets, was unable to be there for the first time in upteen years. Nobody can sing "My Buddy" like Shirley can. Nobody tried. Among the stalwarts was Mrs. Pat Owen. She never misses. Something I never knew was a fact that this fine, patriotic lady supported her country's war effort by learning the trade of welding. News of the first Armistice Day electrified the anxious citizens of McHenry. It seemed like everybody in McHenry turned out for the quickly organized parade. Pictures of that parade were printed in the Plaindealer some moons ago, courtesty of Leo Heimer. Old Timers remember Bill Herbes, who always dressed in gypsy fashion with earrings flashing, led the parade. Bill carried a long musket over his shoulder and dragged a stuffed doll which represented the Kaiser. Actually, the late Emil Patzke and I were in the lead on our trusty steeds. Leo Rothermel was astride the Ben Stilling family pony, a well rounded little animal that walked along oblivious to the excitement of the day. Just threw away a stack of St. Patrick's Day cards received in the past. Of course, some were too precious to toss out. Speaking of greeting cards brings to mind how we have had to revise our little birthday book. Many old friends and relatives have taken up new residence in heaven. At the Zion Lutheran dinner, the pleasure of the evening was enhanceo by meeting and visiting with Harold Nelson and his wife. Harold is a for­ mer McHenryite, now residing in Sterling. The Nelsons still read the Plain- dealer and promised to send a con­ tribution of recollections. We'll be watching and waiting. A promise made-- On Saturday night, we gobbled up an invitation to attend a special oc­ casion at McHenry Country Club. It was awards night and more. Coach Chuck Cuda and his wife Annie and their son Steve and his wife, proudly presented the 1982 MCHS golf team, second place winners in the State of Illinois. Former MCHS stars were also present. I'm sure you will see a separate story with details in the sports section. The Club had a nice surprise ready for "Mac" McCrackeri, but he wasn't in the best of health at the time and 0 couldn't attend. Dean McCracken accepted an Honorary Member plaque for his father. Congratulations to one who hasn't been forgotten, "Mac" McCracken. It might have been called a Club Talent Show as men and lady members and some men dressed for a •.horns line performance. Again the story will tell you more. Under the dynamic leadership of Pres. Ed Buss and planning by Liz Nolan, it was a big evening. Thirty three years ago, this little note appeared in So I Hear: "Tommy Sutton, who gave up his single-blessedness last Saturday, enjoyed his last night of freedom Thursday and decided to do a bit of bowling as night crowded morning. Tommy warmed up with a 181 game, upped the next one to 245, then toppel off with 263." Now, 33 years later (to the day) and two days before his wedding an­ niversary, Tommy went a-bowling again. He is recognized as a good bowler, but scores this season haven't been his best. This time Tommy bowled games of 222-214-217. Give him 33 more years and he will turn in perfect games. Did the hero of our story celebrate? You should ask!

The American Red Cross (the largest volunteer organization in the United States) is mandated by Congress to carry out emergency disaster relief. Much has been done on the McHenry County Red Cross disaster preparedness plan, but ac­ cording to Dick Padera, damage assessment volunteer, "We need to add more trained volunteers to our disaster team." A very important segment of disaster relief includes shelter management for victims displaced by fire, tornado or other catastrophic events. The shelter manager is responsible for opening the shelter, checking out the facilities, being able to determine needs for the specific problem at hand, and delegating responsibilities to others to get the job done. The American Red Cross is offering a shelter management training course Nov. 22 and 23, 7-10 p.m. at the courthouse in Woodstock. Interested persons should call the Red Cross office, McHenry county chapter, 815- 338-1050 to register for the class.
