MEMORIES AND FUN Fourteen folks who grew up on the west side of Chicago recently joined one another aboard a bus for a fantastic five-day trip to the Cherryland festival and Mackinac island. Wilma and Elwood Crane bearded the bus in Waukegan where they met their tour guide, Carol, and their very competent driver, Chuck, and their friends from Hillside, Elmhurst. Wisconsin and Round Lake. ' The first part of the trip took them along the western shore of Lake Michigan and they boarded the ferry that took them to Mackinac island from St. Ignace across Lake Huron. They stayed at a beautiful old Religious college made into an inn and had a wonderful time sightseeing on the island, toured an old Indian fort, en­ joyed a carriage ride around the island and in spite of the cold and rainy weather, had a nice time. They returned to St. Ignace vis ferry then boarded the bus to Gaylord, Mich., where they went to a cherry farm and saw how the cherries fire shaken down from the tree, put into a hopper, then taken back to the farm and sorted. It is the cherry capital of the world and they were having their festival in Traverse City where the folks on the tour saw a won­ derful parade and band com­ petition that were beautiful' with the Crystal Lake Tiger band winning second place honors.
