; October 8, 1964 TIS McSE36IHTPLAraeAl® Sad Ion two -- MARY LOU HAKTOG DREAM VACATION MATERIALIZES FOR THE TOM DOCKERYS Tom and Cathy Dockery returned last week from the vacation they have been dreaming about and planning for for a long time and it was every bit as happy and exciting as they hoped it would be. They returned to their old homes in Ireland and Scotland for the first time since they left there 15 years ago, and they spent three wonderful weeks visiting relatives and renewing old friendships. Cathyyhas a brother in TScotland^Jflnd a sister in Ireland and* Tom also has relatives in Ireland. They had the "luck of the Irish" with them right from the start. When they arrived in New York on the first lej| of their journey they were told that instead of tourist class they were being sent first class for some reason known only to the airlines and the leprecauns who arrange such things. So they made the trip over the "poshy" way with all the trimmings, (without extra cost.) According to Cathy -- Tom didn't get to enjoy the extra trimmings. He went to sleep shortly after take-off in New York and didn't wake up till they arrived at their destination. For all he knew he could have been traveling with the suitcases. However, Cathy stayed awake and enjoyed the luxury bit. During their stay, Cathy's sister made a "wee kilt and sweater',' for Sherrie Lynne Taylor, granddaughter of the Dockerys and daughter of George and Sharon Taylor of Highland Shores. It was all very wonderful and will provide them with conversation topics for many months to come. Kiwanis Club Meeting Secretary's night was observed last Monday evening.

AUTHORIZED BUICK DEALER IN THIS AREA: I. tat St. OPERA HOUSE TO OBSERVE DIAMOND JUBILEE OCT. 24 On Sept. 4, 1890, the Patti Rosa Light Opera company came to Woodstock for the premier performance in the city's new Opera House. Now, seventy-five years later Chicago's Appollo Opera company with an ensemble from the Lyric Opera Symphony orchestra will appear for the diamond jubilee celebration. Electric lights have replaced gas lights and black-tie dress has replaced the Prince Albert coat and patent leather shoes, but the decor remains that of the Victorian style. All the grandeur that surrounded an earlier Opera House production when Chicago's elite arrived in Victorian splendor, will Surround th^ festivities the evening of Oct. "Mf. The Appolo (§pera company will bring before the Opera House audience five of its seaisonfd performers and an ensemble of eight members of the Lyric Opera Symphony orchestra. For performance, will be excerpts from Puccini's "La Boheme", Verdi's "La Traviata" and "Madame Butterfly", Cavallo's "Pagliacci", and Mancini's "Cavalleria Rusticana". It is only fitting that the first seventy-five years of the Opera House should begin and end with an opera. Woodstock can boast the oldest opera house in the mid-west; older than Chicago's original Opera House. Anyone having any information to pass on or requesting tickets for the grand diamond jubilee celebration on Oct. 24 is asked to call the Opera House 338-1663.
