never have gone if it had not been
for them. You know they lived
here for about ten years and we
certainly lost some good citizens
when they left US. Their two
daughters still live here, Mrs. Rob
ert Slater in Rockcrest and Mrs.
Marvel Mess at Wheaton. Their
son, "Jack," is quite an athlete,
lives with them and is in the tin
ming business with his fat2er. l

with them and had a most delight
full visit.

and was met by Ted and his FAM
lily. Of course, l was delighted to
see them. Ted has a nice family

have grown so; they are five and
six. The baby is adorable with
lovely brown eyes and real curly
dark hair. She is IA months, be-
ginning to walk. Ted nas moved
his family into his new home which
is very comfortable. You can sit on

ioyable five weeks with them. |
didn't realize how tired was until
| got there, but the rest did me
good. l felt | was made over. On
August 9Th flew to Burbank and
was met at the airport by Mrs.
Dorothy Schott. She is as lovely as
ever and such a delightful hostess.
The friends l made in '46 in Bur-
bank tried to show me a good
time.
On Saturday we drove to Coro-
nado to see Dawn Schott Pace who,
with her husband, has just return

Honolulu. They have nice little
home and are SO very happy. They
took us to most delightful lunch
at the La Venida in Coronado.
Then we drove to Tia Juana, Mex
leo, stopped and drove on to Rosa
Rita for dinner. There is most
delightful Spanish type hotel over
looking the Pacific Ocean. On Sum
day we visited the San Juan Mis-
sion which is being restored-it Is
beautiful. The flowers are beyond
description. Dorothy is fortunate
in having such delightful friends.
The Publicity Agent for National
Broadcasting Company of Cali
fornia, Leslie Raddatz, got us tick
cts for "Take 1t or Leave It," His
mother, Mrs. Mollie Raddatz, took
us to dinner on Sunset Drive after
the broadcast. Mrs. Kenneth Pc
trie, whose husband taught in
Rockville years ago (Mr. Petrie
died in 1946) took us to dinner at
Santa Inez, San Monica. We had
such a good time talking about
mutual friends. 1 had lunch on
Friday with Mrs. John Wheels at
Beverly Hills, then on to see her
Spanish home. DIR. Wheels, who
was here at Chestnut Lodge, is
now practicing at Beverly Hills
and being very successful. They
get the SENTINEL and enjoy it very
much. LYDIA is the same lovely per-
son-doing full time job caring
for her home, her little daughter
and Tad, her son.
The weather was cool the entire
summer. l got my fill of bling"
cherries, but the fruit crop in Yak
ina was not up to par.
This is just little resume OF my
summer. Words can't express the
Joy of seeing my boy and his nice
wife and children. He is wonder
tc me. God has been so good to
him, handicapped as he is. He GER
tainly doesn't let it make differ
cnce to him. l am ready now to go
back to work, rejuvenated after
seeing so many beautiful sights
and meeting new and old friends
and last, but not least, getting
back to my family and all these
good friends here.
