are experts in attendance at all
times, who are there to make all
these children proficient in their
skills. Their day isn't complete
even after two hours in the shops.
Next they have two hours of cal
isthenics.

the podium-my eyes were trans
fixed on those shifting sandaled
feet
Friday, the 18th, / had to say
goodbye to our good friends, DR..
and Mrs. John Richardson. Rena
and John have been transferred to
Georgia. It's a difficult task for
me to say goodbye to good friends
and these two nice southerners
seemed almost like family to us.
Maybe you remember they spent
the evening with Lynne and Dawn
the night our Leslie arrived in the
local hospital They seemed close
to Leslie since they were one OF
the first to know of her arrival.
Rena had been an air line hos
| tess, which is a dream of Lynne's;
Dawn wants to be a teacher and
Rena taught school in Delaware
when they lived in Dover. John
enjoyed exchanging riddles with
| the girls, spent hours with our
wire haired dog trimming her,
would pick up Lynne for her piano
lessons, etc. They were just part
of the family. When we come home
this summer they plan to come to
Delaware at the game time and 1t
will be so nice to introduce them
/ to you.
Friday, the 18th, around two a.
M, expected Hayes to return
from his fight. 1t was foggy here
and they were weathered in Tue
son, Arizona. Via ham operator
here in town / was able to talk
to Hayes last night and he wished
all four of his females, Happy VAL
entine's Day and hoped to be home
the 18th or 10th.
This same notorious day Dawn
tried her hand at selling Girl Scout
cookies. l can not explain to
you the power of Kansas mud, il
you haven't seen il. But believe
me when / say it just reaches from
its depth and grabs onto your boots,
or alas your shoes. This day Dawn
wore her boots (it's almost man
datory every winter day., but her
little scout friend, Christy, did not.
AS they walked around our neigh
borhood they tried to jump curb
| full of dirty water and the inter-
minable Kansas mud. Dawn and
iher boots made it, Christy landed
| in the middle of the mess. Scout
like Dawn had to help Christy,
since the mud had a good solid
hgrip on her shoes. Dawn stopped
down to pull on her little friends
legs, but to no avail. They were
becoming frightened by this time.
It was near dinner time, they were
muddy from head to foot and Chris
ty seemed cemented to her position
at the curb. Cars riding by ignor-
ed their screams for help, thinking
they were just having fun in the
mud puddles. The mud did not
surrendered those shoes until
iChristy in stocking feet and Daw-
ME in her boots dug for them

little Brownies came home brown
with mud and minus the money
they had so proudly received for
their salesmanship.
Jack McKibbon called from Kan
sas City last night and wanted
Hayes and me to come over and
have dinner with him at the Hotel
Mulenbach sometime during the
weekend. He is there for the
Poultry Conyention-the one that
Jack Burris, from Milford attends
each year. Jack McKibbon was
quite shocked when / told him the
Burris' had been friends of my
family all my life. Jack and Jack
apparently have been friends for
several years too. McKibbon was
Hayes first co-pilot when we lived
at McDiIl AFB. Tampa. Florida.
We attended Robbye and Jacks
wedding and feel especially close
to them since they named their
first child Dawn Ann after our
Dawn Anne. Guess we'll miss see
ing both Jacks this year unless
Hayes surprises US and gets in ear
/ hope all of our excitement is
over and that things settle down
in this household now.
Until next week.
