r. Freeman whom everybody
regards as the daddy of Audubon y
arrived here the last of the week
for months visit with his son. ID
l.. Freeman and his daughter, Mrs.
Frank Berman. He is on his way
back to California from attending
the national encampment at Column
bus Ohio. After living here more
than so years he has decided to
spend his winters in a milder clim-
ate. When the writer met Mr..
Freeman Monday and told him he
was looking well, he retorted by
saying he believed there was a
pack of liars in Audubon who did
not have the lease edge on the fell
lows out in California who are al
ways Dragging about the golden
west. Mr.. Freeman said he was
not feeling as well as usual, but IL
he didn't we still insist that he Is
deceiving his looks.
The people of Audubon are glad
to see him looking so we'll and to-
gether with his old comrades are
enjoying visits with him. He said
his many newly made friends in
California were mighty good folks
but somehow they could not find a
place in his heart like the old
friends he made while he lived
here.
