(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) Plans Under Way For 1974 Illinois Special Olympics . Ed Datz brought in a little figurine that isn't too unlike some old Irishman we once knew. A call from our niece, Kathleen Blake Orttel in Waukegan, made our day brighter and greener. Somebody sent Jack Pepping a doozy of a greeting and he turned it over to us. And, as usual, an unsigned card. Betcha we know who put that one on our desk. Had a bit of a party in our office in the spirit of the day - loved it. Dear Earl: I hope you'll wear this and be proud to say, it came from a friend who moved away. Don That has . to be Dm Hoenes who sent a green flower with card attached "Show your colors on St. Patrick's Day". We do. - And, thanks Don for remembering! You may have Now comes Fred Meyer, Bill DeVries and Arnold Rauen with plans to celebrate St. Joseph's Day. Not much to it. How can they compare that to honoring the great saint of Ireland? "What happened to your Notre Dame Irish?" That question has been popped at us since the Michigan basketball team showed they are real class. That Michigan fast break is something to behold. And Campy Russell is one of the greats.
