Copyright. All rights reserved http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ***************************************************** From "Our Town This Week. . ." Mrs. Lois Lacy Lewis wrote, "Quoting from a Reader's Digest, 'If God would grant me one thing, I'd chose again another spring,' another spring like the one just finished--lush, green, and cool. Maybe it is the real summer weather that has hit us this week, that makes the remembrance of those cool days so enticing. Yet, we take it all as it comes, for this hot dry week is what the cotton needs. . ." The Harrison Bakers stood their big day like troopers. . .All of the charges where the Bakers have worked had representatives at the Sunday affair. Harrison was kept so busy seeing friends that he missed part of his own family. Bro. Baker described these fifty years as the shortest fifty. A great couple... Teddy Hunter, way over in Germany, will get The Celeste Courier and The Greenville Herald Banner to keep him informed on home town doings while he is in the service. Dora, his mother, is so pleased about letters and notes from the mother of a good friend of Ted's, a Peter Klein. Mrs. Alice Klein writes, in beautiful script and good English, that Ted is in their home often and that she is so happy to welcome such a fine boy and a friend of her son. Pictures show Mrs. Klein to be a lovely little motherly- looking lady with pretty colorful clothes. She was planning to entertain for Ted on his birthday, June 22. Greetings from home, Ted, and grateful thanks to German friends. Major Dicky Saye called his family from Hawaii last Sunday for a long telephone visit. He was in Honolulu for five days on Marine business from his Saigon Viet Nam base. Mary Dee and boys are in Greenville. Mumps have taken a hunk out of Our Town's "going" population. Billy Barnard is the hardiest in his home. He just refused the mumps. He took care of Bob, his dad, his mother, and kept going. Just so he does not beak out this week while in church encampment! Last week two affairs were had. The Lions family night fish fry drew the usual fine crowd. Then June Floyd had the Supper Club on Friday night and had seventeen guests. Sarah Roach Swindell is honor student at ETSU again for the spring semester. How that girl does it throughout the full college years! She, Pat, and Alice are going this summer, we hear. Alice just starting and the others working on advanced work. Others in ET are David Pruitt, a senior at A&M, Ronnie Clinton doing senior work at ET, Catherine Floyd, Janice Thacker Shields, Larry LaFavers, Donnie Evans, all in their college second and third years, and starting are Sue Warwick and Martha Sumrow. Larry Hazal is back at A&M doing research in topology while taking courses toward his Doctor's degree. His report grades were two A's and two B's for the past spring.
