Hi Ladies!
They say Spring is just around the corner but it surely
doesn’t look like it here today. We had a nice little snow
fall. The moisture it brings is quite needed so we won’t
complain.
Soon after the last magazine was mailed to you Marsha, Elmer and
I journeyed to Winston-Salem, N. Carolina. We visited with our
Steam Engine friends, The Charles Idols family.
We had a lovely time as usual. Not only did we get to see them
but they are so thoughtful that they invited other folks in to
visit, whom we have learned to know through our hobby. Mr. &
Mrs. Roy McCollum & daughter, Mr. & Mrs. Nonise McCuiston,
Mr. E. E. Bodenheimer, Mr. Bob Powell, Mr. Howard Davis, Mr. M. L.
Scholl all from the State of North Carolina came in Sunday to see
us.
Saturday evening while there we visited again in the lovely home
of Mr. & Mrs. R. S. Morris, Sr. They are such fine folks to
know.
My boyfriend, Elmer, seems has to cut capers in January. He did
it again the last day of the month. Thank He. ens it wasn’t
nearly so bad a time as last year. His recovery from a light heart
attack has been rapid and wonderful. Can’t keep a good man down
they say, so it goes with him thank goodness.
Now that we have the office in our Recreation Room and
activities have quieted down to a more normal rate, I think he will
enjoy the work more, It will keep him in closer touch with the
correspondence through our secretaries that they have with you.
We are happy to add to our Iron Men a new member, Mrs. Norma
Finnicum, since Kitty can no longer be one of us. She is a
railroader’s wife and a mother of two wonderful children –
Kent, 20 years of age and Marjorie, 16 years old.
We appreciate the work of our other co-worker, Irene Gertzen,
she has taken the reins in her hands and come along over here to
work with us. She is doing a fine job. Thanks.
I just can’t stand people daring me so I used my influence
to have the below printed. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
