Some of that 85 degree tempera-
ture that Ernie and Frances Ganth-
er are soaking up in Key West,
Fla. wouldn't be hard to take,
would it?
Well, anyway he had lot Of
fun - so said Fred Meckfessei, Jr.
when he returned from a full day
of ice fishing with a single -.
Triple congratulations are
in order for John Ladd, PlB,
who received a degree from
Bowling Green took HIM
self a bride and received
a lieutenant's commission in
ROTC.
Always good to see fellow pub
fishers and newspaper people s..
among the most enthusiastic in

spent four hours on the Island.
They explored ruins of the fort
once there, remains of dwelling
structures, and visited the Con-
federate cemetery. Cooking dinner
outdoors was an added feature.
The boys drove to Danbury and
then walked the mile across the
frozen lake, each holding onto a
rope that was provided as a safety
measure. Scouts in Richardson's
group were Tom and Jerry Fritz,
Denny and Jerome OlekSa, Carl
Kolhoff, David Ascher, Ted Sny-
der, Wayne Druyor, Bob Krupp,
and Bill Hoffman. With Scout
master Fritz were George Oleksa,
Bill and Sylvester Fritz, Harry
Ascher, Don Hoffman, and John
Rhode.

For Scoutmaster Fritz, the trip
brought back memories. He was a
Scout in a troop which Al Jones
led across the ice to Johnson's Is
land ten or twelve years ago. AS
far as anybody can remember, no
troop has since gone to the island.
It is uninhSSited in winter, al
though a mainlander keeps stock
there and goes over regularly to
care for it.
The trip was planned as a pre-.
observance of Boy Scout Week
said Scoutmaster Fritz, and also
to give boys a chance to work or
certain merit badges. Another
similar trip may be held later.
Troop 366 boys will attend com
munion in body Sunday at I'm
