The warmth of L.A. and the beauty of the ocean greeted the couple who spent the day exploring the unique shops at Marian Del Rey and went on to tour the mansions of Beverly Hills. From there they flew to Sacramento where they were welcomed by Ron's brother, Bob, and wife, Sharon. The foursome toured Old Sacramento, circ 1800, where a little bit of the last century resides thanks to the effort of the city fathers. San Francisco was the next stop where a ride on the fabled cable cars and dinner at Fisherman's Wharf provided the special moments to be remembered for years to come. And finally the beauty of Lake Tahoe and the spruce and snow-covered mountains was picture card perfect as the couples enjoyed both the dinner and the panoramic view. With fond farewells and images of the Golden Gate Bridge, Ron and Dee returned to L.A. for the short flight back to the snowy cold of Illinois, both fortified with enough California sun­ shine and memories of warm days to last until spring. SCHOOL DAZE A field trip to the world's busiest airport was enjoyed by the second graders of the P.L.E. at Hilltop. A jumbo jet was one of the highlights of the tour of one of a major airline facilities. A pretty stewardess demonstrated her various duties for our youngsters just as though they were real passengers winging their way to exotic, romantic places. O'Hare also boasts of the largest, best maintianed fire departments, in the., world. Exploring and examining the a huge pieces of equipment and learning firsthand the jobs the men and machiens perform, was very interesting. Just ask Davis Cole, Kris Hoglund, and Val Nothnagel. OUR FINE FEATHERED FRIENDS Raggedy Ann and Andy were the special guests at the recent father-daughter banquet hosted by the McHenry area Bluebirds. The afternoon was a smashing success as the girls and leaders had worked extra hard to make this a special day for their dads.

Our Bluebirds sang songs and recited a poem to spell FATHER. Dads, who with their gate enjoyed the day were Heather and Leroy Beltz, Audra and Gene Michaels, Val and Steve Nothnagel, Kris and Ray Hoglund, Peggy and A1 Schoenstein, Kris and Dale Johnson, Kelly and Bill Rosman, Amy and Jerry Nystrom, Kim and Jean Kull. All agreed it was a very special occasion. The Bluebirds are on the move again. Their leaders, Joyce Michaels and Erin An­ derson are full of a never en­ ding supply of places to go and things to do. On a recent day off from school the troop went to neighboring Johnsburg to see just exactly how frozen pizzas are made and packaged, from them to us.
