SAILING VESSEL, TWO OCEANS, AND 42 YEARS Sounds like a strange caption but it best describes the trip which Theresa and Will Schultz recently enjoyed. Theresa viewed Roald Amundsen's sailing vessel, the Gjoa, forthe second time in her life, on the west coast, in Golden Gate State Park. The first time was in the Atlantic Ocean, in 1926 when she was accompanied by her mother Ingeborg and this reporter. At that time, the intrepid and courageous explorrer was at the helm of his ship, and certainly embodied all the characteristics of a true Viking. Mr. Amundsen is credited with discovery of the South Pole and lost his life in 1928 when he attempted to rescue the Nobile crew, a group of Italian explorers. They returned and his , crew was never found. Will and Tessie flew from CP Hare airport on Thursday, Oct. 10. At the same time, daughter Lynne's fiance, Len Benson, was leaving from another gate, and Russ O'Hara, accompanied by his wife, Kathy, had still another departure. That's a story in itself. The Schultzes arrived in San Jose, Calif., and were met by Betty and Hank Houck, former residents of the village and McHenry for many years. During their eight day vacation on the west coast, the couple visited the Houck children and their families, including Judy and Hugh Houck and wee ones - Rachel and Gillian in Berkeley, also Hank, unwed who lives with Judy & Hugh; Pat and Bill and her three children; Bev and Tom Dewey and their two sons, Stephen and Michael, and Roberta, who shares an apartment with a girl chum, near her place of employment; Youngest child Geoffrey,a sonar man in the Navy is aboard the U.S.S. Davidson, destination - Vietnam. Points of interest which were exEto*»& by the local pounlgo Francisco, 'e'^^:':'- siVetjfr:: including Tele^i$j: Hill; fisherman's WhaE^rffijev; Gcftdert Gate bridge, which Crossed, Alcatraz prisori^;'$$av sai# hippies and yippies by th;e . thousands.

The two journeyed to Vacaville to visit our brother, Ted, and his wife, Dorie, Debbie, 17, who is a senior in high school and young Ted, a freshman. They didn't meet Ingrid who was away at college, or new bride, Nancy, and husband. Theresa and Will arrived home last Friday to be greeted by daughter, Lynne, who is pining for her fiance who returned to Hawaii for the holidays. This young couple is planning a Spring wedding. TEXAS VISITOR Mrs. Linda Bergstrom was thrilled recently with a visit from Helen Munroe Breiss of San Antonio, Texas. Mrs. Bergstrom and her husband will be leaving our shores Nov. 7 to spend the winter in the south. Linda suffered leg trouble and was hospitalized in Florida on their last visit, but is now able to get around with the help of a cane. TRANSPORTATION ARRANGED We are indeed happy to report that Ruth Gumm was able to visit her husband, Whitey, at Hines Veteran's hospital last weekend. Good samaritans were Sanely Brennan and Butch Carter of Ringwood. Hie two young people became aware of Ruth's plight and offered assistance in transportation and also bringing the Gumm car back fro m the hospital so it can be winterized. They deserve verbal orchids and have assured Ruth of continuing help. Whitey* s morale remains high but he is having difficulties with his leg. Please remember him with cheery messages. COUPLE LEAVING THE STATE We certainly will miss Nada and Bill Klapperich who have been wed 12 years and have resided here in that time. Nada's term of residence is even longer. The two are leaving the state shortly for a new life, and are selling their home furnishing.
