She had two parties like her sister Amy had last month. The first one was Friday April 19 at her house. Grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sweeney Sr., were there with uncle Pat and aunt Colleen. Other guests were Curt and Chris Thomas, George and Alicia Gutzman and Art and Mary Schwinn. The family went to grandparents, Bud and June Detwiler's on Sunday because it was also uncle Scott's birthday. Lois and Art Stolldorf were on hand with their children Erin and Shiela, and Gail and Boyd Kyle came with their children, Todd, Luke and Curt. What should have been a happy time was marred by the recent death of Linda's brother, Neil Detwiler. He was killed in a tragic car accident in Rockford two weeks ago. Our sincere sympathy goes to the Sweeney and Detwiler familes. BUSY BROWNIES The girls in troop 464 visited a local hamburger place last week. They had a complete tour and were able to make their own sand­ wiches. They received toys to take home and ended the day by playing on the equipment outdoors. On Friday night, the girls got all dressed up and took their dads to the Father- Daughter dinner at St. Patrick's. Each girl presented her dad with a boutonniere that she made for the gala event. One last note, the troop sold 1,100 boxes of cookies this year 'and are now making plans on how to spend the money they earned. Good work girls!

Donald Pearson of Lakewood, one of about 12 ship builders of this kind in the United States, will be at the museum from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. to explain and show how to make ship replicas to place inside * bottles. These replicas are first researched and then accurately duplicated in miniature before finally -being fitted into bottles. Efforts to keep each mipiature an exact replica of its full-scale vessel,•- $ven down to the original coloring, bring Pearson into . close contact with museums throughout this country and Europe. ^ At 2:30 p.m. museum visitors will hear Pearson explain the procedures in­ volved with his highly skilled hobby. Throughout the af­ ternoon some of his models, both completed and under construction, will be on display. Also on display will be other models built by his children, hand tools used in miniature ship building (many of which he designed or borrowed from the dental profession), plus photos of work done for his customers. Visitors will enjoy talking with this well-kno#n and skilled craftsman, seeing the materials used, and having cleared up the miscon­ ceptions about how ship models are actually placed inside bottles. 4 Sunday should be a good day to come out ; to the museum for the opening season, see the -special program* ^nd journey back through Tocal history.
