EARLENE THE SCHOOL MARM SAYS.

Hi Ladies!

Well the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over for another year
but isn’t it wonderful? I just love every minute. It’s just
too bad the wonderful feeling existing at that time doesn’t
continue among fellowmen throughout the year.

Marsha had a nice long vacation to spend at home with us which
started before the Holidays. It was not only a joy to have her
around, but I don’t know how I would have gotten ready for
Santa without her. I taught up until the day before Christmas thus
I had to do all my preparing at night or over week-ends.

The wonderful Christian family of David Egan, R. D. # 1,
Mechanics-burg, Pa. invited us for Christmas dinner. It was a most
delightful experience. They have two daughters going to College.
Connie is a senior at Allegheny and Noel is a freshman. Need to say
our girls always have a lot in common and enjoy themselves. Other
years I have always had my family here so thanks to them our
Christmas was unforgettable and appreciated in many ways.

Our grandson, Davie, went home, of course, in Ohio. We had the
thrill of seeing him take off in the wide blue yonder in a plane.
Since it is quite new experience for any of us we couldn’t help
but say an extra prayer. It was answered. He arrived and returned
safely to us.

Our Dist, Supt, Rev. Martin Hopkins, and his charming wife,
Betty, shared a few hours with us around the supper table last
week. They are so down to earth but interesting folks with which to
visit. It was indeed our pleasure to have them in our home.
