t Whispering Oaks (Whispers from the "Oaks") Marilynn Hamilton 385-6962 Charlotte Herrig Assumes Role Of General Chairlady The Whispering Oaks Community Center members are happy... a new general pot- luck chairman or chairlady has been announced. It is always hard to find just the right person to take on such an im­ portant job but members agree, after the great evening of the last supper, chaired by Mrs. Charlotte Herrig of Oak- wood Drive and her committee, Mesdames O'Gretta Madigan, Eva Brown and Adeline Lemberg, that Charlotte Herrig was a great choice FUNSTER COMMITTEE A new dedicated committee of twenty people chaired by Norm and Nina Hoym met at the Whispering Oaks com­ munity center to search for new ideas and to plan new activities for a busy year at the com­ munity center. The center has grown and continues to grow beyond original hopes and the "Funster Committee" hopes to encourage even more par­ ticipation. The new committee is matfe up of Norman and Nina Hoym, Walker and Virginia Thomas, Bill and Ramona Tardy, Marilyn Hopper, Mildred Dempsey, Dennis and Marge Hall, Jack and Lucille Bruhn, Roy and Evelyn Enger, Elmer and Jerre Reighart and Phil and Marilynn Hamilton. HOME FROM HOSPITAL Happy news is that one of Whispering Oaks most admired ladies, Mrs. Jo Knopik of Melrose Court, is home from McHenry hospital. Everyone knows and loves Jo for her tireless work as general pot- luck chairman at the com­ munity center. There is one very happy energetic Boxer who's glad that his mistress is home! ARIZONA VISITOR A brown, relaxed Vera Poole of Oakwood Drive returned home recently from Apache Junction, Ariz., where she visited a cousin, Ellen Poole. She enjoyed a busy 3 weeks of sightseeing, Tucson, Super­ stition and Red Rock Moun­ tains and just soaking up sun on the Poole patio, but there's no place like home. VACATIONERS RETURN Dan and Anne Johnstad, one of the newest Oak families, just returned from a happy relaxed vacation in Clearwater and Largo, Fla., as their lovely tans attest. ENJOY FLORIDA Em and Bob Foy of Oakwood Drive accompanied by Em's sister Therese Wall of Hampton Court are home again after a delightful 6 weeks visit to Florida. While in Clearwater Beach, on the Gulf coast, their daughter, Sandra, a teacher from Long Island and a friend spent a week with them. Another Clearwater hi-lite was meeting Cesar Romero! Later, headquartering in an apart­ ment in Seabring, they visited many friends and did the "usual tourist things." Bob almost decided that they had come home too soon when the latest snow arrived. ENTERTAIN FAMILY The Foys have been busy people since arriving home. Their daughter, Cindy, and her husband, Jerry Monroe, from Long Island spent last week with them. Easter week their son, Eddy, also from Long Island, his wife, Maureen, and grandson, Eddy II, will be visiting them. The proud grandparents are eagerly awaiting Eddy II as this will be only their second visit with him. OLD HOME WEEK The Chester Conrads of Oak- wood Drive have just returned from a 3 week vacation in Florida and report the very happy experience was like "Old Home Week". While staying with friends in Leesburg, they were invited to dinner with Lillian and Tom Evans also of Oakwood Drive who \tfere vacationing in Winter Park. A few days later, they met John and Mary Doerr of Garden Quarter and Mary Madl of Wiltshire Drive who were vacationing in Inverness. HOME FROM HOSPITAL We are happy to report that Mary Hillenbrand of Oakwood Drive is home again from St. Francis hospital in Evanston. Mary is improving daily but will be housebound for a while, but her strict "nurse", George, will soon have her up and around again. HAPPINESS IS -- Happiness is a visit from a much admired brother-in-law. Phil and Marilynn Hamilton enjoyed a visit from Alan Cath- cart of San Jose. Calif., this past weekend. Mr. Cathcart was here on a business trip for his company but managed to visit different family members in between conferences. Mr. C. is married to Marilynn's sister, Rene. HOSPITAL PATIENTS Now the sad news....We have three "O&kers" as temporary residents in McHenry hospital. Ed Woloszynski of Oakwood Drive is in Room 308-2. John Albrecht of Front Royal Court and Leslie Schroeder of Cumberland Circle are sharing TVs, EKGs, ETCs in Room 210- 2 (John) and 210-1 (Leslie). If one has to be slowed down, it's great to have a friend. Just to remind you, there's nothing like friendly cards and notes to lighten a hospital stay. Hope you will all be home soon and enjoying our "beautiful" Illinois Spring. SUBJECT-HATS! "Around the World In a Hatbox" was the subject when Marilynn Hamilton of Oakwood Drive spoke to the young ladies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) on Tuesday evening at the Clifford Hunn home in Crystal Lake. Mrs. Hamilton owns an in­ teresting collection of thirty- eight hats from all over the world, sent to her as gifts from many of the Foreign guests the Hamiltons have entertained over the years. Travelling American friends have become interested in the collection and have added trophys of their trips to the collection. The girls enjoyed hearing the story of the collection and trying on the different hats. Several dolls, fans, purses were a side at­ traction, each illustrating facets of life abroad. SIGNS OF SPRING Spring is such a beautiful time, it offers so much promise, the grass turns a soft green, sort of sneaks up on you; the joy of seeing some of God's greatest creatures, the Canadian Geese flying the distinctive never fail V back to their northern haunts; Roy Enger of Oakwood Drive reported seeing a huge flock of them settle for a rest in the marsh just west of Boone Creek. Gardeners are busy getting flats of hoped for beauty ready for the day that they can be set into their real home, the Good Earth; the cardinals call and the robins dance across the lawn and we sit and reflect, even with the terrible headlines staring up at you from the paper on the breakfast table, the world is such a beautiful place. What a wonderful place it would be if we humans lived up to its promise.
