Thursday; October 7, 1965 THE McHENHY PLAINDEALER MCCULLOM LAKE NEWS BVE LEVfcSQUE &5-sidi FORMER RESIDENT AND NEW HUSBAND ARE WELCOMED A most hearty welcome to Cynthia and Nick Freund who are living at 4605 W. Lakfc Shore Drive since their marriage and honeymoon trip last week. They were married Sept. 28 and took a short wedding jaunt to southern Wisconsin. They are living just a- few doors from the home where Cynthia spent her chilhood and attended the Mc- Hehry schools. We sincerely hope the young gals in that area will extend a warm greeting to this charming new bride and maybe offer a few choice recipes. Trip To Germany Proves Rewarding Experience Erma and A1 Oberhuber learned a very valuable lesson as a result of their recent three week trip to Germany. They are completely happy with their adopted couhtry and have no desire to return to the land of their birth. They also feel privileged to bring up their three children in a country of freedom! The five members of the family left O'Hare airport on Wednesday, Sept. 8, £nd flew directly to New York where they boarded a jet for the trans-ocean voyage. The air trip was thoroughly enjoyed except for the ascent and descent; In eight hours they arrived in Munich, Germany, to be met by Al's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marquis Oberhuber. They were also greeted by his sister, Mrs. Marion Ritthaler, and husband and Al's brother, Franz. During their stay in Germany, they visited with countless relatives. A somber note was struck when Erma was cautioned not to attempt to see her family in Berlin. Although they are both naturalized citizens, they were warned that difficulty in coming back might ensue. The twins, Christie and Ermie, and big brother, Mike, do not speak German since only English is spoken in their home, so mamma and pappa were busy with translating. The-appalling weather (rain and cold) dampened their enthusiasm and for three days they wore unable to accept the change of diet. Sleeping on feather beds was strange and Uncomfortable for them also. In addition to all the scenic wonder of the historical old city, the youngsters were enchanted with rides on old fashioned street cars. The family spent two days in Austria but again the weather dampened their enthusiasm and they were unable to take pictures of the majestic Alps. The extremely high cost of living was brought home forcibly when they learned that a single egg costs 28 cents and coffee is 12 marks a pound, equivalent to about eight dollars! Most of the natives are unable to afford these commodities hut the Oberhubers had the foresight to bring their own coffee. Clothing is so expensive that most people can only afford one new garment a year, and most mothers if the children are in school must work to supplement the husband's wages. It has been 15 years since Erfna was in the land of her birth and she was happy to have this experience but has no desire to return. The family is looking forward to a visit from Al's sister and husband next May and another relative plans a trip here next summer. "the family returned to our shores via O'Hare airport on Tuesday, Sept. 29, and we know the children have been regaling their classmates with tales of their fabulous journey. "dinger" Takes Several Events Tim Tomasello wds sporting a handsome red ribbon which his horse "Ginger" won last Sunday in ifartlafid. The equine took two seconds and placed fifth in another- event. The first event was a scramble for boots and a speed event. A little girl under 14 rode Ginger in another speed event and also placed second. The horse came in fifth in a sleigh pulling event with a small child riding . Tim's horse is a beautiful gentle palomino and he has even greater reason to be proud of her as of last Sunday. Announce Nuptials Mrs. Violet C. Jordan, who lived in a home on Fountain Lane about three years ago, became the birde of Mr. Edward C. Seefurth of Chicago last Sunday. They were married in Evanston and celebrated the happy eVent with a reception dinner in Chicago. Severe Injuries Sustained In Fall A painful fall on the sidewalk in front of her home resulted in a broken pelvis and broken wrist for Mrs. Anna Buschfeld on Tuesday of last week, Her anguished cries were heard by neighbor, Mrs. Pearl Padelford, who rushed to her assistance. She called an ambulance and the injured woman was rushed to Mc- Henry hospital for first aid and thence to Christ Congregational hospital, 4000 W. 95th street, Chicago. Harry Berry was injured at his place of employment last Thursday and is a patient at Belvidere hospital. First Child For Navy Couple The ecstatic grin Ginny Delia is wearing these days can be attributed to the birth of her first grandchild, Doris Carol Groff, born Friday, Oct. 1, in the Naval hospital, Bainbridge, Maryland. She tipped the scales at 5 lbs., 2 oz. and her parents are the former Karen Parkhurst and Bob Groff. Aunt for the first Time. is Pamela Parkhurst and most anxious of her first glimpse of the wee one.
