6 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. JULY 30,1M0 EARL WALSH* So I Hear EXCITED7 You would be, too. Marilyn Ehlen, who reports news of the lady golfers at Pistakee Country Club, had two thrills of a lifetime in one week. On Tuesday at Chapel Hill, she had a birdie, sinking an 80-yard shot. If that wasn't enough, on Thursday she came through with another birdie at Pistakee. Marilyn has been golfing only six years. Some could golf sixty years without such a thrill • It was none other than Elrtier "Biff" Meyer at the other end of Ma Bell's line "Where are you calling from?" say I--thinking it might be a long distance call that would limit my words When he said the call was from the Bill and Marie Berndt home right here in McHenry, there was no hurry. "Biff" is one of those fans who once thought the Cubs could do no wrong. Now, he shows fading enthusiasm. He says when Don Kessinger left baseball his interest hit low ebb. Why is it so many Cub fans have hit the skids? We Sox fans are a hardy group -- rugged individuals who have lost many a battle, but live in hopes of winning the war. In earlier days, the Plaindealer carried per sonals that reported all travel to other cities. £ Such as - Joe Blow visited the windy $Uy on Monday ~J{>tephen H. Freund, jjpwnship Supervisor, drove 4o ihe County seat (Wood block) on Wednesday where business in the Court House took up his entire day If such travel were reported today, we would carry this item: Marilyn Keihansperger, who resides east of town near the Lake County line, toured in to our city one day Jast week for a pleasurable ride over the streets of IfcHenry. She returned t)6me the same da\r MM* W, -- '".Arnold Hauen was^seen gblfing in a new all-green outfit at McHenry Country Club A dream in green! He didn't buy that outfit for St. Joseph's Day. Now watch the Cubs go! They fired likeable Preston Gomez as manager in sudden death action. Some players and many fans think General Manager Bpb Kefinedy is the one who slibuld have felt the axe. Jt is the old story. When a team suffers fallen arches, Ihe manager is the one to go. •^nyhow, the owner can pay the deposed manager's entire salary for the term of his contract without getting hurt. Most managers don't make as much money as a 230 hitter. The phone rang, as it often does, and Former Police Chief Kenneth Espey wanted to know if I had been down to the Green St. business section. Nope. Crowds scare me. So Kenny wanted me to be sure to see McGee's Irish window. Mary Ann Wegener thought I would enjoy it. A sign "They kept the pig McHENRY - O'HARE LIMOUSINE SERVICE Serving Entire McHenry County Area "Ride in Comfort in a Luxurious Aitonokile" •DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE •Delivery to O'Hare •Plck-cp at O'Hare •Parcel Delivery Available •Service to Other Destinations Available BY RESERVATION ONLY 24-HOUR SERVICE 7 DAYS A WEEK CALL 344-4466 WAYNE AMORE, Owner Plaindealer in the parlor" was what our caller wanted us to see. We found our little colleen, Mary Ann, garbed in green. We liked it. Heavy rain put the kibosh on the sidewalk sale. Somebody should have featured rain coats and umbrellas. Betcha Larry Seborg got a real surprise when he saw that "Happy Birthday to my Senior Citizen" greeting in the last issue. His wife, Helen, linotypist (our little kitten on the keys), slipped that one in on Larry's sixty-fifth birthday. A happy thought. I enjoy yarious columns in the Plainflealer They keep me on my toes. "Musin' and Meanderin' " had a nifty column on the Vycital family. Glad to see Charles, a member of a fine family that dates way back in McHenry history, named Parade Marshal. The same goes for his wife Mary (Althoff). The one deceased member of the Vycital family, John, was a classmate of mine. He was a hard worker who fit the old saying - "He didn't have a mean bone in his body". There will be more McHenryites honored as time goes on. The Chamber of Commerce recognizes people who have contributed much to the community through the years. "What have you done for me lately?" does not fit into the picture when they make a choice. Our new Sports Editor, Joel Wakitsch, had an in­ teresting column on the death of hardball in our area . If money was available in past years for lighted fields, baseball probably would have survived. liitib'school football drew only a handful of fans before night*nemes came along" Officer Jim Fitzgerald's informative column on police activities also takes my fancy. All police departments are accused of devoting 95 percent of their work bet­ ween curbs, but they do have many other calls that often take long attention. Anne Sowers' last column on Wonder Lake activities was a good one. I had a pet name for Anne when she was that happy Sullivan girl, a high school classmate of our daughter Trisha. She was a welcome visitor to the Walsh ranch. I follow Liz Nolan's Divot Dolls with interest and now comes Marilyn Ehlen's reports on ladies golf at Pistakee Country Club. She is off to a great start. Of course, I wouldn't think of skipping Marie Yegge's Twice Told Tales. For some of us, she could go back more than 50 years. Oh, there are many others who contribute so much toward making Ye Olde Plaindealer a well rounded family newspaper.

Marching in the Fiesta Day Parade along with others from the 100- member group, the youngster took three flying leaps at the two-inch piece of wood and finally split it down the middle. Young Hong, founder of the school, held the wood for Jacob who received a warm round of applause from the Main Street crowd. The school also put on a Friday night exhibition at the city park in front of 300 people.
