AUGUST 24.1983 EARL WALSH So I Hear and I are going to meet them for lunch. That will be a fun day. Hugh Kirk came a-callin' to help identify natives on an old picture. I'm going to return the visit to see his collection of Indian relics. Somebody was mentioning the beautiful work turned out by old timers using fine knitting needles. I'm going to have to quit men­ tioning how my garden doesn't grow. Good friends remember us, but we will never be able to repay them. Myjdea.of a lost feeling is when you go out to start your car and the battery is dead. 4-way stops give me the heebee- jeebees. I used to think there was no flower to compare with a red rose. Now, those beautiful yellow and pink ones are taking my fancy. We don't waste much time when we get up in the morning before we look out the kitchen window to see the roses. I found out that Alderman Mc- Clatchey of our third ward is a White Sox fan. Would like to take a roll call of the local aldermen to see how many Sox fans we have. I'm sure of one -- Alderman "Hold The Line" Bolger.

Last Thursday, tables were set up outside where the residents enjoyed chicken dinners prepared right on the grounds under the leadership of Aldon Thompson and Dave BUch. While on the Hartland grounds, we met Elmer Hopper and Lura Yanda. Both of those long time fnends have been very helpful to the home management. Each year Elmer plants a garden, providing food for the kitchen. Lura seems to be all over, helping others in need of assistance. While there we met Lyle and Lil Hopper, all the way down from points north in Wisconsin.

THOUGHTS WHILE WATCHING BASEBALL: Why do managers leave a pitcher in for one too many batters when everybody else knows a change should be made ? Carlton Fisk is much faster than one might expect. He has a stride from here to there. Camera shots show that umpires are only human. Too many batters do not know how to bunt. There aren't many 9-inning pit­ chers these days. A breaking pitch, low and outside will get most big sluggers. The Cub's firstbaseman, Bill Buckner, is said to be strong headed and outspoken. Bet a lot of managers would like to have nine strong headed guys like Buckner on their team. The Sox didn't lose on that trade of second basemen. For years we have expressed the idea of designating a weed-cutting day. The idea never got off the ground. Weeds on both public and private property should get a few whacks. Some corners where there are tall weeds or bushes dictate that a driver inch his way out into the intersection or street. Maybe others have taken action, but our observation is that the Longhorn Steak House has taken a lead. The view is much better. Another spot we noted was when driving west on Kane Ave. at Front St. (HI. 3D, the tall weeds at our left were cut. Nice start. SIGN ON BUMPER: "Live and let live." (Old, but still good.)

In fact, nitrogen comprises about 78 percent of the atmosphere's content. Oxygen, which we need to sustain life, is the next most plentiful element in the air. All other gases, including helium, make up one per­ cent, or there abouts, of the air around us. Oxygen begins to thin out so much at 10,000 feet that a supplemental supply is advisable if you are to be above that altitude any length of time. All our weather-clouds, rain, lightning, etc.--occurs at below 40,000 feet usually, and always below 50,000. The height is greater at the equator and less at the poles , where there is less centri­ fugal force from the spinning of the earth. |gl Bob and Diane, were married for several years before he talked to her at all about his three years as a. sergeant in the U.S. Army Green Berets fighting in Vietnam - or the six grueling months he was a Nortn Vietnamese prisoner of war. First, he had to totally trust her, the 31- year-old veteran and member of Vietnow explains. He had been suppressing ̂ memories and emotions for quite a few years. When he came home to McHenry County in 1971 weighing 92-pounds after a prisoner irf war exchange released him* Bob was heartsick when persons asked, "How many babies did you kill? Most, however, ignored where he d been and what he'd done, and he was rebuffed. Finally he decided to re- enlist and was reassigned to Viet­ nam. The next year he was mprfiffliiy discharged and returned permanently to civilian life. Bob and Diane met while she was a nurse's aide and he was hospitalized for recurring problems with his legs from injuries sustained in Vietnam. After their marriage Diane became increasingly puzzled and frightened by her pleasant, extroverted husband's periodic depressions, angry outbursts and talking nightmares. Seeking a fresh start and escape in the West, the couple, with their young twins, moved to Boise, Idaho. Through friends they heard about the VA Outreach center program for Vietnam veterans and spouses. They began participating. The center offered various counseling services, one-on-one rap sessions, and more. These proved beneficial, especially to Diane. "Our marriage was saved in Boise", Diane says now, having returned with her husband and to McHenry County in early June. "It's so important to have someplace to go to discuss one's problems because your husband is so busy dealing with his own problems. You realize you're not the only one and there are others worse off." Through these rap sessions Diane learned to deal with the guilt and grief of her husband and < " veterans. "What you did was for that time, which was a different level of sanity. It has no bearing now." Diane is anxious to see a auxiliary organized to stq the purpose and programs' of the McHenry county chapter of Viet­ now, "Veterans Helping Veterans." She will share her ideas at the next regular chapter meeting to be held at 7:90 p.m. Monday Aug. 29, at St. John's Lutheran Church, Rt. 47, Woodstock. One primegoal of an auxiliary would be to have rep ressions for the women, sisters, wives, girl friends, mothers or whoever has an interest. A psychiatric nurse has already volunteered to serve as counselor of these sessions. The Vietnam veterans have rap sessions at 9:30 p.m. each Tuesday jat the Court Services Building le€iy a therapist, Alan Belcher, who is also a Vietnam veteran. Diane believes an auxiliary could also help with fund raising events, family outings, children's coun­ seling and establishing a lending library of books by and about American Vietnam Veterans. The Aug. 29 meeting is open to the public and anyone interested in finding out about the Vietnam ex­ perience. For more information, contact Jack Wojewoda, 915-455- 2810.
