He *dined out" with Virginia Shaw and her neighbor, Wilma Core. Last Sunday Dean was back in Chalk and ready to visit with Steve Clark and exchange goodies. John Rowley, Brad Foster, Jacob and Dustin picked up a load of wood the 9th and took time to visit. Giles Schrader watched the Mill Creek Junior High Girls basketball game Tuesday. Later he attended the Wa- baunsee High School National Honor Society Induction Ceremony. Carl and I visited Marge Hobbs Tuesflay afternoon at the Health Care Center in Council Grove. We missed seeing George as they were moving him from the Hospital back to the Center. Earlier we enjoyed a visit with Brent Si- morris.
