I PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1972 Holiday Hills Bonnie Kellen 385-6344 Marge Connell 385-3756 Hellmig Family Recalls Trip Thraugh West It would take months of reading Geography books and hours of viewing travelogs to see and learn what the Hellmig family saw in just two short weeks on their vacation in our beautiful western states. Leaving in their motor-home recently, Dick, Libby, Gordon, Cathy and David headed west and spent their first night out in Chamberlain, S.D., in a campground on the Missouri. After touring the Badlands, their next stop was Stockade Lake in Custer State Park just outside the Black Hills. They toured Rapid City but found very few signs left of the flood damage and also viewed beautiful Mt. Rushmore. It was in the Black Hills that they saw the first signs of the great west as they watched a large herd of buffalo wandering out in the hills. As they continued their trip, the next stop was Buffalo, Wyo., and one of the things that really impressed them was the friendliness of the people. In the "middle of nowhere", they had a flat tire and every car that passed stopped to see if they could be of any help. Crossing the big Horn Mountains, they proceeded on to Cody, Wyo., where they enjoyed a visit to the Buffalo Bill Museum. Driving onward they finally reached Yellowstone but finding the campgrounds already filled, spent the night in Shoshone National Park and left early in the morning again arriving in Yellowstone National Park and this time getting a beautiful campsite. It was here they spent two days seeing all the sights including Boiling Springs; Old Faithful Geyser; the Paint Pot, which is thick colorful bubbling springs; and the beautiful Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. They swam in the cool mountain streams, and hiked many trails where they- had the opportunity of seeing much wild-life such as moose, elk, buffalo, bear and different types of birds. Leaving Yellowstone, they motored to Grand Teton National Park and camped at Colter Bay which is located in Jackson Hole. As Libby put it, the snow-capped mountains and glaciers were gorgeous and indescribable. Some of the beauty was viewed on horseback as they went riding on the mountain trails and another highlight at the Tetons was a three hour Float Trip that Libby, Gordon and Cathy took on the Snake, River. After a dightful stay, they headed eastward to DuBois, Wyo., on to Cheyenne and then to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado where they stayed at a campground just outside of Estes Park and again enjoyed the scenic lookouts as they took the beautiful Trail Ridge Drive through the snow­ capped Rockies. As all good things must finally come to an end, so did their time and they finally headed back to McHenry after covering almost 4,000 miles laden down with ten gallon hats and other souvenirs brought back from the "Golden West". VISITS GRANDMOTHER The James, Kottke family, Karen, Jim, Ricky, Jimmy, Denise and Kristena, had a delightful four day trip down to Tulsa, Okla., recently visiting Karen's grandmother, Mrs. Olive Howe. While there they also had a chance to see her two uncles, Uncle Jim and Aunt Barbara Howe and cousins Mary and Steve; and also Uncle Francis and Aunt Jane Howe with cousins Kenny, Lisa and Jana. A sightseeing trip to the Keystone Dam on the Arkansas River just outside Tulsa was very interesting. On their way back, they came through Springfield, 111., where they viewed the capitol building and toured Lincoln's home. While traveling they stayed at motor lodges with swimming pools and all thoroughly en­ joyed their trip. KARAFAS GO NORTH Visualize a rustic cabin nestled in the towering pines on a clear blue lake up in northern Wisconsin and you'll see how the Karafa family, Wally, Joyce, Guy and Troy, spent their vacation. After having reservations for many months, Friday night, July 14 finally arrived and in the midst of a terrific rain­ storm, they finally left for two weeks of fishing, swimming and just plain relaxing up at Jag Lake in Boulder Junction, Wis. Although they had quite a bit of rain, their cabin kept them warm, dry and cozy and they all really enjoyed themselves. A highlight of the trip up north was a visit to Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Mich., where Guy will be entering as a freshman this fall. Also while up in Michigan, they thoroughly enjoyed a very interesting tour through a Copper Mine just outside Hancock. Although the fish seemed to disappear during their stay up North, they did manage to catch a few and returned home on July 29 looking relaxed and rested and stated they all had a real good time. KATIE VISITS FOLKS While "papa" stayed home and batched it, Katie, Diana, Keith and Brian Gregg took a jet down to Mobile, Ala., for a visit with Katie's folks, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jernigan, and had a wonderful family reunion. Grandpa Jernigan recently suffered a stroke and has been blinded in his right eye, but is now recuperating and no medicine could help him more than a visit from Katie and the children. The weather was beautiful during their entire stay and they enjoyed many picnics, visits to the park and the beautiful beaches where Brian, Keith and Diana got quite a collection of butterfly sea shells. They returned home by jet after a two week stay and we all sincerely hope Grandpa Jer- nigan's health continues to improve and that he will eventually Pegain his eyesight. WILMA RENEWS OLD FRIENDSHIPS Wilma Galbreath of Holiday Drive has had a very happy time this summer enjoying the companionship of her younger sister, Carolyn, who lives in Detroit, Mich., and has been here for almost two months. While Carolyn was here, Jack could not get off from work but Wilma, Carolyn and the children, Jeannie, Ruthie and little Jim, took a vacation visiting many friends and relatives whom they have not seen for some time. Their first stop was in Anderson, Ind., where they visited a girl friend of Wilma's whom she has not seen in seven years. From here they went to Noblesville, Ind., where they spent some time visiting a minister and his wife with whom Wilma became acquainted while she was a student at Cumberland college. He is visually handicapped and Wilma used to read to him in her "out~of-class" hours. Greensville, Ohio, was their next stop where they stayed for a week with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Bowman, two of Wilma and Jack's schoolteacher friends. Jennie accompanied their daughter to Southern Ohio to spend a week at Bible camp. They then visited friends in Madisonville, Cincinnati and Goshen, Ohio, and onto Williamsburg, Ky., where they stayed at her grandparents and had the • opportunity of visiting more friends and relatives. CONDOLENCES Sincere sympathy is ex­ tended to Mr. and Mrs. •Woodrow Johnson of Bit­ tersweet on the loss of their infant daughter last week. Little Sandra was five months old and the granddaughter of Mr; and Mrs. Donald Dolatowski also of Bittersweet. Graveside services were conducted at St. Mary's cemetery in McHenry. GET WELL WISHES Get-well wishes are sent this week to Mrs. John VanDuyn of Park Terrace who is in McHenry hospital and also to Joey Foreman of Pine street who bumped his head on a steel beam in the basement and received four stitches. Cheery wishes are also sent to Mrs. Jane Thomas, mother of Abbie Emerson of Oak Lane, who is confined to Cuneo hospital in Chicago with a broken hip due to a fall in her home. TWO-DAY TRIP TO WISCONSIN DELLS Bill, Judy, Billy and Cari Jaramski of Hickory street recently spent two enjoyable days visiting the Wisconsin Dells. They were accompanied by Judy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Glower. The children enjoyed Storybook Gardens immensely, and all enjoyed the boat trip through the Upper Dells. Because of the rainy weather, inside activities were the order of the day, so they also toured the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wis. Though short, Judy says it was nice to get away, and she especially enjoyed not having to cook. LOCAL GIRL SCOUTS ENJOY CAMPING TRIP Nine members of Junior Girl Scout Troop 478 recently spent four days at "Corp" Camp, at Chapman Hills Camp, Eagle, Wis. The word "Corp" stands for the fact that any leader of a troop can take her girls there, regardless of her training in camping, and there is a corp staff of trained adults at camp ready to assist the leaders and the girls in their camping ac­ tivities. It is a great op­ portunity for girls to camp, who otherwise would not have the chance.. A Unit at camp was composed of four patrols, two of which were from our troop here in Holiday Hills, and the other two patrols were from a McHenry troop from Sunnyside. The girls cooked out breakfast and dinner every day, and had a cold lunch requiring little preparation. They were also responsible for gathering firewood, setting tables, and cleaning up after their meals, so they really did work hard. Every evening there were snacks around the campfire, and c ? night the girls went all out, and made pizza in a Dutch oven. They also made homemade ice cream one very hot afternoon. Another afternoon was spent hiking 4 miles into Eagle, Wis., after which they were all exhausted, even too tired to make a campfire and have evening snacks. One foresighted leader brought along a garden hose, which the girls hooked up to a faucet and spent the hot afternoons under cold water like a sprinkler. The girls did their share of com­ plaining about the amount of work involved in camping out, as most of them had never camped before, but after it was all over and they were on their way home, they agreed that four days was just too short of a time and they wished they could have stayed longer. Girls who attended were Priscilla Kasprzyk, Lynn Kathan, Margie Wise, Noreen DeWitt, Dale Williams, Chris Connell, Kelly Wegener, Paula Carbone, and Patricia Goebel. Leaders who went were Mrs. Jackie Carboneand Mrs. Tillie Williams. FAMILY REUNION Marge and Harvey Beth of Holiday Drive recently had a very enjoyable week, one they've been looking fonvard to for several years. Their foster son and family. Bill and Mary Konakowitz, and daughters, Pam and Stacy, were here for the week from New London, Conn. The occasion of their arrival was celebrated with a family gathering, with relatives coming from near and far. Marge Beth's sister and brother-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. A. Marquardt came from Dwight. Mrs. Don Hills, from Racine, Wis., Mrs. and Mrs. Don Gronert and daughters from Marengo; Mr. and Mrs. William Housby and Ralph, William, and Eileen from Wonder Lake;* and Mr. and Mrs. A1 Pahlke and daughter. Margie, from Highland Park. Marge and Harvey provided a beautiful buffet dinner, the feature being a 32 lb., turkey, which almost didn't fit into the oven, and to top off the evening. Marge and Harvey's son, Chip, who lives in California, called long distance to say hello to all the relatives he hasn't seen for some time. And the party was only the beginning of a wonderful week for the Beths. who so thoroughly enjoyed the com pany of the Konakowitz family. ANOTHER FAMILY PICNIC The Carbone family of Lilac street. Frank. Jackie, and daughter Paula spent last Sunday at a family picnic at Jackie's sister's home in York- ville, Mrs. Gene White. Daughter, Paula, and her friend, Noreen DeWitt, stayed the night and then spent last Monday on a visit to Arlington Park race track. For them, sleeping on a water bed was quite a thrill, and they also enjoyed their day at the races. BIRTHDAYSAND ANNIVERSARIES Happy birthday to Larry Jende on Sept. 4.
