• •V "A ALVIN AND HAROLD PHANNENSTILL If ever there were loyal fans of their hometown, they are the Phannenstill brothers, Alvin and Harold. Flashing a smile, Harold (right), a resident of Kenosha, Wis., since 1946, said one of his fondest memories of the Plaindealer was during his World War II days, when he received it as a gift of the management. " He contmtfS^njceCeive the newspaper weekly even though ne hasbeen absent from McHenry for more than 30 years. Harold has all the Plaindealer accounts of his baseball days Hied neatly in a scrapbook. They are When.'. . . ^ ; • - - -- (,with long time subscribers) - pleasant recollections of his days as a pitcher, with the old Volo-McHenry Brewers baseball team. One particularly memorable occasion was when the Cubs' great catcher, Gabby Hartnett, came from Chicago to play with the local team. "We got beat anyway", Harold recalls with a consternation that is evident even today. ° Phannenstill wore the uniform of the mighty Cub player, Guy Bush. In fact, he said his team received all the old Cub uniforms when the Chicago team acquired new Ones. It brought a smile when he remembered the day he joined the Miller brothers, Roy and Victor, to play a trick on the late George ?. Freund. George had wanted a couple of pigeons so Phannenstill and his friends became the suppliers. They went to the Claxton farm and brought bade two bags of the birds and put #iem in a coop back of the Freund house. Harold's greatest anticipation is the reunion planned next Sept. 7 for the 50th year eighth grade graduation class at St. Mary's parochial school. In a slightly different form of sporting event, Alvin Phannenstill recalled the days that he worked cutting ice on McCullom Lake. "We got through cutting ice one day and were ,arguing about the weight of a quarter-barrel of beer," Alvin remembered. "Al Baur, who was my boss at the time," he said with a smile, "bet me that I couldn't carry the quarter-barrel from where the Plaindealer is now, down Route 120 and Green street, to where the St. Regis pub is - without setting it down!" Alvin went on to say that a regular parade followed him through town as he hefted that barrel. "I did it," he noted and then added, "I had to, I didn't have enough money to pay for the beer." Alvin said they tapped the beer and had a party at the tavern. BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Guy Kum- pula, 3200 W.
