MCHE Y PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LA KE S REGION SINCE 1875" Thursday, July 27, 1967 - McHenry, Illinois SUNNYSIDE ESTATES Sally Segerstrom S85-0964 Marlene Berg 386-3418 Queen Sandy Fry Reigns Proudly Over Marine Day A large number of our residents turned out to see the parade in McHenry on Sunday. We are sure they all felt the same pride as we did, while watching our lovely Queen Sandy Fry and Judy Walczynski riding on the floats. We did not miss spotting Ray Bieschke who was on the Wonder Lake Square dancing club float. Sandy was kept very l)usy this past week, ft began with a dinner in Woodstock for all the contestants of Miss Mc^ Henry County. The event was taped for showing the following evening on Rockford TV. Then on Wednesday was the Teen dance which was enjoyable to all. The boat parade was held Saturday with Sandy spending three hours riding on the back of a boat. Reigning over the VFW dance Saturday evening was very exciting also. It was a very tiring week but one Sandy will always cherish in her memdries. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION Chris Fail was treated to a delicious steak dinner at a country club near Antioch. Not that Don needed an excuse to take Chris to dinner but they were celebrating Chris' birthday. Pat Maule went to an indoor movie with his family on Saturday to celebrate his eleventh birthday. Heather Siepman had a very busy Sunday in Chicago with her family at Grandma Mitchell's for her tenth birthday. They toured Old Town including the Wax museum and then went to the zoo. While there they lost Warren and hunted him for an hour and a half. Warren was smart enough to find the car and just waited to be rescued. They picnicked at a park near Grandma Mitchell's home and for dessert they had birthday cake. HERE AND THERE Chris and Elaine Fail spent four lovely days in Minnesota visiting with friends. Besides the nice weekend they enjoyed the scenic ride. The Kennebecks swapped children for a week with Carol's brother. They sent Allen in for a short vacation and in turn received Denise, daughter of Bob and Marily Gamperl. Carol enjoyed the arrangement, figuring she got the best part of the deal. Andy and Joanne Eichhorn and children went to a cookout at the Harry Clark's home on Sunday. After the delicious dinner they went boating. The Farley family had an addition of two more children for ten days. Bob and Billy Lyons, sons of Marge's brother, had a wonderful time with the Farleys. Their home is in Chicago, which means this country living is extra special to them. What we take for granted these two boys find luxurious and would have liked to have made their visit even longer. It was a quick trip to Ogema, Wis., this weekend for the Jim Fuquas. They visited with Fran's Grandparents. It was a special occasion for the Grandparents as they had never seen Gary or John, the two youngest of the Fuqua children. Ann Radtke took her seven children to the-circus in Crystal Lake. They were all very thrilled, even baby Judi with all the animals and clowns. Rich and Ann Radtke visited with friends in Waukegan on Saturday evening. CUB SCOUT NEWS Our Den 5 and Webelos went with Cub Scout pack 452 to White Sox park on Saturday. The boys who watched the Angels beat the Sox were Kenny Simmons, Steven Boomfield, Howard Siepman, John Kanter, Steven Segerstrom, Webelo, Jimmy Williams and den chief, Donnie Gerstein, who is a Boy Scout. It was quite exciting watching the game, not to mention the tons of food they put away! FIELD TRIP Pat Maule and Mark Davis went to Janesville with their summer school class on Monday. They visited the Tallman house where runaway slaves were hidden during the Civil War. The children were very intrigued with this old historical place. Also on their schedule was the cave of the mounds. VACATION Fran Olsen and children, Ernie, Kim, Eric and Rebecca spent two weeks in Omaha, Neb., at Fran's parents home, the George Hoodys. Jerry drovei them down the fourth of July weekend and returned to. bring them home. The unseasonably cool weather did not allow them much swimming but they still enjoyed a few steak cook-outs and were entertained by their friends and relatives. Fran got together with some of her high school group as they do every year. They lunched at a restaurant and then sat back and chatted over their events of the past year. There is one thing that Fran is finding very difficult to realize now. The fact that she has become a great aunt, leaves her feeling very aged. Tony and Millie Senkerik had a nice, but hot, two week vacation with their son, Dave, who is stationed at Sheppard Army base in Witchita Falls, Texas. The Senkeriks had an apartment nearby and David was able to have supper with them daily and had a weekend pass. On the weekend the three of them drove two hundred miles into Oklahoma, taking in the sights. Millie and Tony also visited with Millie's niece in Fort Worth. Dave will have completed his medic training next week and possibly could have a short leave before going to another base for further training.

Robbin Radtke celebrates the thirtieth. Marge Farley has her day on the thirty-first. Sherri Higgins begins the month of August by turning two. A very happy day to each of you. CANINE WOES AGAIN We have not had any dog complaints up until now, and thought maybe people were keeping their pets at home not only for their animals safety but to avoid annoying their rtieghbors and damaging of property.
