MEET FEBRUARY 25 West Coast Jaunters Betty Hettermann Celebrate Silver Anniversary In Florida It was 25 years wed for Betty and Nick Tabor on Feb. 9 and they marked the occasion with festivities in Florida. They returned home last Sunday after three weeks in Englewood. The" two met and were wed in Chicago on Feb. 9, 1|38, attended by Betty's sister, Dorothy, and her boyfriend (now husband) Herman Bock. It was a small home ceremony. The couple lived in Chicago until 1950 when they purchased their home on Lakewood Road, McCullom Lake. Although their two girls, Diane Horn and Ruth Suchy, were born in the city, they received the major portion of their education in the local schools. Diane is the mother of e daughter, Conny, while Ruth's youngster is Timmy and another due next month. Which makes almost three grandchildren for the Tabors. Nick works as a carpenter foreman for a local businessman while Betty works parttime in McHenry. For the occasion Of their silvt i 1 'lag anniversary, Breaks All Records! Clayt Nelson is a proud fisherman and deseryedly so, since he broke the record for deep sea fishing during his and Elsie's recent three week jaunt to Florida. While out in the Atlantic ocean, about 15 miles east of Stuart, Clayt snagged a 51 pound!! amberjack. He thought that was the end of the story until others told him his name had been broadcast over the airwaves in connection with his prize. The captain of his boat entered Clayt's catch in the fish derby which runs from Jan. 1, until April 1. If no other fishermen top his record, he will be proclaimed the winner and will be so notified. If he does win, you can look for his picture and accompanying story some time in April. One of the members of the crew took pictures. Elsie is in line for congrats for her piscatorial conquests by landing an 8-9- pound king mackerel. The two had a marvelous 10 day visit with former residents --Lena and Fred Eckhardt in Tampa and then on to St. Petersburg where they visited with more former residents the George Goransons. Caroline's mother, Mrs. Betty Erickson, is in fine fettle in spite of her some 88 years and sends greet ings to all old friends in the area. The senior Nelsons returned home Saturday, much refresh ed by the break in the old routine. Tanned And Healthy Jean and Hugh McDonald and son, Ed, returned last Thursday morning from their 3 week jaunt to Miami, Fla., considerably darker than when they departed. Jean purchased a swim suit and indulged in salt water swimming. The three were considerably jolted when they arose one morning and gazed upon the ugly sight of a huge sea turtle in their swimming pool. Some jokester thought of it as a good prank. Needless to say, the denizen of the deep was removed before the bathers would venture into the waters! The McDonalds and Ed were thrilled with a visit from Sid Lil and Hal Michels, Bud Michels and Cynthia Rourke planed to the west coast two weeks ago. Cynthia returned home after one week, while the three Michels arrived this past weekend. The four were entertained at the home of Mrs. Milly B. Braydon and her husband, Jim, and they were impressed with the lavish "diggings." Reason for the journey was the greenskeeper convention which was held in Pain Springs. They also journeyed to San Diego. While in Palm Springs, the Michels group saw many film notables including the fabulous Gabor sisters--Zsa Zsa and Eva, and the still gramorous mother--Jolie. Other stars they saw were Charley Farrell, John Weismuller, Jack Kelly, Phil Harris, Robert (The Untouchables) Stack and Pat Buttram. They were hoping to see former president Eisenhower, but he Was not avail-^ able. The three visited Disneyland for two days and were unhappy not to have the children along to share their glee. Knott's Berry Farm was also on the agenda. They engaged in their favorite sport and played on the links at Bermuda Dunes, El Dorado, the Thunderbird, Indian Wells and La Quinta. Imagine Lil's thrill when she went swimming at the Riviera in Palm Springs with eighteen surgeons--all men! During their two weeks, the Michels group rented a car and travelled some 1140 miles. In their absence, the eight children of Lil and Hal received excellent care from the' two grandmothers, Mary Lekawitch and Mrs. Charles Michels of Johnsburg. They had their hands full including the care of a new infant and could have used another pair of hands! It was a fabulous trip and one which all three Michels and Cynthia won't soon forget. The young people V attend the McHenry and Woodstock high school. They joined in playing various fun games and did an awful lot of dancing to the latest "platters" Sandy was the recipient of so many very lovely gifts.

She reports she is ecstatic to be a spMient there ajid is much happier being so much closer to home.
