Finding the words may not be much of a challenge for her, but finding the right word to describe Mrs. Thompson is. Thoughtful, considerate, alert, active, energetic, sweet...the list goes on and on. . .and those words all apply to this remarkable individual. But... Ah...REMARKABLE! That's it! If one word best describes Mrs. Thompson, it is that she is truly a remarkable in­ dividual. Remarkable is the only way to describe a person who takes time out the first Wednesday of every month, and visits the Salvation Army hospital (formerly Downey) in North Chicago. Remarkable is the only way to describe a person who serves as the Catholic Daughters of America (CD of A) "Sunshine" chairman, and mails out over ninety get-well cards each year to persons who have run into misfortune. Yes, remarkable is the ONLY way to describe Mrs. Thomp­ son. For over twenty-five years, she has faithfully gone to Downey to entertain hospitalized veterans. At first, she went with the VFW, but then began to organize a group to go from the C D. of A. "I was going to Downey with the VFW, and they asked if I couldn't find some other per­ sons to go once a month with me," she explained. "I thought of the C D. of A., and mentioned it to them, and they all thought it would be a good idea." So now, every first Wed­ nesday of the month, Mrs. Thompson and a group of other women go to Downey and play bingo. "We play bingo and serve lunch for them," she explained. "We play bingo for candy, and I have brought the candy ever since we started. Sometimes, there are as many as seventy- five men playing" she added. Besides her frequent trips to Downey, Mrs. Thompson also finds much of her time im­ mersed in mailing out get-well, birthday and greeting cards. "I send out about ninety cards to C.D. of A. and Royal Neighbor members," she said. "I send out get-well cards, sympathy cards, and past- eighty-years birthday cards." In addition, Mrs. Thompson sends out over 150 Christmas cards, many to hospitalized veterans that she has a soft spot in her heart for. "I got to know many of the people in the hospital," Mrs. Thompson said, "and a lot of those people don't have anybody." Photo by Wayne Gaylord Besides her "family" at Downey, Mrs Thompson also has quite a large family of her own. That is, if ten children, twenty-five grandchildren, and thirty great-grandchildren can be defined only as large. She is a lifetime resident of the McHenry area, living on a farm in Ringwood when she was growing up. To what does she attribute her remarkable energy? "We lived in Ringwood," she explained. "And my father used to make a lot of things. My father had six girls and no boys, so I had to help quite a bit in his shop." In the line of work, Mrs. Thompson worked at a local store as a salesperson until about ten years ago. She remembers walking from her farm in Ringwood to school in Johnsburg, and remembers the then new St. John's church in Johnsburg, after the old one burned down in the late 1800's. But most of all, she remembers persons less for­ tunate than herself. She has served the community for many of her years. She does remarkable work for a woman of any age. And that's the most remarkable thing of all-Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, com­ munity leader, is in the spring of her eighty-ninth year. Marriage Licenses Cary L.
