Len and Phyllis Ackerman, Lennie, Laura and Lisa Ackerman and Mike and Sue Thennes, along with Marvin and Joyce Ackerman of Elburn, 111. all ventured to Nisswa, Minn, to get in a bit of fishing, before the long winter nights set upon us. Yes, they did catch quite a few northern, pan fish. Lennie caught an almost 6- pounder and uncle Marv had to out-do him by getting a 9 lb., 15 oz. Northern, plus a 5 lb. walleye. But the catch of the day was accomplished by Mike Thennes. Tiss said that Phyllis is the fish cook in camp. How do you manage that for 12 people all chewing down at the same time? We almost forgot that Len's sister and husband Urban and Dorothy Decker of Union, were the senior members of the group, 'just to keep them in line', they said. Also, to show all the young folks how to play cards. The colors were just beautiful when they left, as they had rain, snow, cold and must gorgeous sun all combined. (How did the shopping go girls?) With the washing out of the way and being a nice day, Georgia and Dorothy Bauer, Arline Pearson, Phil Ackerman, Ila Hogan, Alice Peet, Doris Low and Althea Walkington, all car-pooled it and went out for a nice day of talking and reminiscing with Mertie Harrison. The coffee pots were put to use and a few goodies appeared. It was a very nice way to spend a Monday afternoon. BAPTIZED Little Alesha Ann Schiavone, daughter of Vinceand Juanita ("Mooch" Ackerman) Schiavone was baptized Sunday the twelfth of October, with Karen and Mike Schiavone as god­ parents. Alesha is the granddaughter of Len and Phyllis Ackerman. There wre 30 guests for lunch after the affair. Special guests were Alesha'a great-grandparents, Clayton and Virginia Bruce; great aunts and uncles, Marvin and Joyce Ackerman; Howard and Darlene Wagner; Urban and Dorothy Decker. Aunt Dorothy made the cake with pretty pink flowers and a tiny sleeping child. FAMILY REUNION Doris and Walt Low, along with Doris' mom, Mabel Thomas of McHenry at­ tended the annual Thomas family reunion in Bent- tendorf, Iowa. They went on Saturday, Oct. 11 and returned home Sunday af­ ternoon, Oct. 12. There were 53 present from Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa and Illinois. The group was small this year because of illness and other obligations, but hopefully next year there'll be nearer the 75 or so that is usually there. It's good to get together like this once a year and see relatives from other parts of the country. They figured this group has been getting together for 16 years now, so that the younger generation will get to know each other better. This way the country cousins and the city cousins get to know who's who. The weather was beautiful so again the little ones got to go for their walk along the Mississippi River with Uncle Duke.
