It was a reunion of seven members of C Troop % Cav, 25th Infantry division, who had not seen each other since being in combat in Vietnam eleven years ago, based in Cu Chi. The idea for a reunion had its origin eleven years ago, but did not materialize until a phone call from A1 Porter (living in Olympia, Wash.) to John Rourke made approximately three months ago. A1 was in­ spired to make the phone call aftef seeing the movie "The Deer Hunter". Emotions ran deep, and it was like a family reuniting after eleven years of separation. Plans are being made to have a yearly reunion with more of the family members in attendance. Those present atn the gathering were Chuck Warren, Finlay, Ohio; John Rourke, McHenry; Bob Wolford, Battle Creek, Mich.; A1 Porter, Olympia, Wash.; Dwight Bird well, Oklahoma City, Okla.; James Dean, Salem, Va., and Mike Christie, Long Island, N Y. Five Generation Reunion On Sunday, July 22, friends and family of Harvey Baker, Sr., of Forreston got together for a family reunion, and among those present were Mr. William Hobson, a grandson from McHenry, his wife Valorie and children, Lisa, William and Corki. The celebration took place at the home of another grandson, Pete Meyer, who lives in Adeline, 111., with his wife, Linda. Also in attendance were Harvey's wife, Margaret; daughters, Mrs. Paul (Nora) Meyer of Forreston, Mrs. Cliff (Gladys) Hobson of Rockford, MR. AND MRS.

A dinner and reception was held for 142 guests at Chapel Hill country club, and the couple took a wedding trip to Virginia Beach, Va.

There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Grew Up In Hate I Q. I'm a belligerent, impatient person subject to turning my husband off, and my children too. I'm devoted to them but don't seem to have the capacity to work myself to the bone for them and still feel love for them-all at the same time. I grew up in hate. Can I ever dispose of it? A. Certainly you can dispose of it. And the process is simple; just stop hating. Exercise your sovereign ability of choice. You can either choose to hate or choose to love. The fact that you "grew up, in hate" means that you cultivated a wrong and unhappy mental habit. But any habit can be reversed. Simply start thinking and saying loving things. Tomorrow morning start the day by saying, "I love life, (love my home. I love myself." Tell your husband you love him and your children too. Take a big sheet of paper, paste it on your refrigerator door and write in big letters the word LOVE. Unlearn hate and learn love. You have what it takes to reverse a habit. So get with it now. We are sending you our pamphlet, Love Life and Life Will Love You Back, which is free to any reader of this column. Write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564. No Greater Pain Q. My husband died suddenly, three months before he was to retire. I can't make myself finish the work of sorting his clothing and all the treasures we collected over the years. At first I made some headway and then got bogged down in memories. Such an important part of me is gone. Why do well-meaning friends tell me to look at the suffering of others? I could never be happy because someone else suffers more than I. This is the greatest pain I ever had, so how can I take on a pain I know nothing about? A. Going over your dear husband's clothes and belongings is indeed a poignant experience. Lots-' of husbands and wives and children have to do it. My suggestion is to think of all the happy times you had together and say again and again, "Thank You, God, for that memory or that experience. How empty my life would have been if that had never happened." Live each memory over with a positive affirmation of thanksgiving. That will ease the pain and it will make your husband glad where he is now, in God's loving care. Afraid to Lose Again Q. I'm 16 years old and I don't know whether I want to live anymore. It started when my parents got a divorce. It was a real shock. Then I met a guy I really love and thought he loved me. But he would lie to me and go out looking for any girl that would have sex with him because I wouldn't. When he ran off with a 14-year-old I dropped out of school. He still calls me and I get emotionally upset and do drugs. Sometimes really bad drugs. Today he's getting out of jail. If our relationship starts up and I lose him again, I'll probably kill myself. If I never get him back I don't know what I'll do. Choral Club Opens Season The McHenry Choral club will open a new season of rehearsals Monday, Sept. 10, in the music room of East cam­ pus.

The best thing that could possibly happen to you is to lose this man. What you say about him indicates that he is no good for you, that's for sure. Wipe him out of your life, join a church and other organisations where good, decent people meet. Make yourself some real honest-to-goodness friends. Don't fool around with the kind of life you describe any longer. Things will turn around for you and then you'll be glad you ire alive.

If you planted potatoes in your home garden, freeze some of them when they are in the "new potato" stage. Not only are they especially tasty, but they seem made to order for hurry-up meals. r^ancy Moore, McHenry county extension adviser, says potatoes about the size of walnuts freeze best. It isn't necessary to peel new potatoes. Simply wash them well and scrub vigorously, or scrape them if you wish, to remove the tender skin. Blanch the potatoes in a boiling water bath as follows: ' potatoes one inch in diameter, 4 minutes; potatoes lVfe inches in diameter, 7 minutes; potatoes larger than \xk inches in diameter, 8 to 10 minutes. Start counting the time the moment the potatoes are put into the boiling water. After blanching, chill potatoes for 3 to 5 minutes in ice cold water to stop cooking action. Drain well, package in moisture-vapor-proof con­ tainers and freeze at 0 degrees F.
