2004 Anniversary card to Catherine & Gerry

2014 Marks 38 years since Catherine & Gerry were married. This card from Mom & Dad arrived on their 28th anniversary.  Transcription follows.

2004 Anniversary card to Catherine & Gerry

[2004]
[written by Jean] This card is rather amateurish for a long married couple like you but need to buy some more soon.

We are planning to meet Cris & family & John Uibles & perhaps the Ashcrafts like we did last year or year before for a picnic.

Hope Wendy & X must be getting moved in with all the company helping or being entertained.

Wanted to call you tonight but Dad says you'd be at work at 10:15 our time.

Praying that all goes well on your interview coming up.  Roberta had a BUSY DAY today and was worn out but good turn out for lunch and program.

Got a tape from church of Mary Virginia's group when they visited.

Bob Hodson was there last Sunday while Mike Barthel, our minister was at Lakeside.  He & Dorothy both look real good.  [rest of card written by HH]  Their 3 children were baptized @ the NVUMC.

My how the years fly – dream BIG & we will be around for your 50th.

1st time today to send a contract we had in Microsoft Word via E-Mail.  The other party has a lawyer in Dayton – so maybe some of the big time intelligence will rub off.

Yes, I recall the location of the old Cincy P.L. – it later became the home of the Cincy Enquirer – one of my earliest employers.  The Enquirer route was how John got interested in the N.H. School.

Love, The N.V. Uibles

1984 Catherine Moves to Colfax -Jun14

Minor error in this article in that we did not move to Oregon from Ohio, certainly not directly! Transcription follows.

Librarian moves to ColfaxPage 6 The Madras Pioneer June 14, 1984 Section A
Captioned: Morgan with board member Laurice Ochs

Jefferson County's librarian of the past three years, Cathy Morgan, has moved to Colfax, Wash., following her last day at work Friday.

Morgan's husband, Gerry, accepted a position as parts manager for Jones Truck and Implement there.  In Madras, he worked as parts manager at the Jefferson County Co=op.

The Morgans moved to Madras six years ago from Ohio.  Cathy Morgan, who has a master's of library science, worked previously as a librarian in Maine, where she met her husband.  She hopes to get back into library work in Colfax.

Morgan has been replaced temporarily by Debbie Stubbe, who will return to George Fox College as a senior in the fall.  Stubbe had previously worked at the library for two years as assistant.  She is majoring in elementary education at the Newburg college.

The library is currently taking applications for a permanent librarian.

As librarian, Morgan encouraged an active Friend of the Library group, added a computer for community use, and developed more community support of the summer reading program.

She also added books and cassettes for children, as well as cameras, to the library's check-out supplies, and began using both adult and youth volunteers in the library.

I am pleased with the support and help of the community here," she said last week.  "This is a wonderful library because people support it."

1984 Catherine's Note -Jun18

6-18-84                Hello!

Here is a check for Wendy's spending money.

We went shopping yesterday in Moscow, Idaho (24 miles away) at a shopping center (really nice) for some clothes for Wendy so she'll have something to wear in Ohio.  She still needs a pair of slippers (I was thinking of seeing if she could wear a pair of small ladies) and a warm up sit so maybe you could help her shop for those.

I'm sure she'll have some ideas for spending the money!

We will talk to you on Friday.

Love, Catherine, Gerry & Wendy

Hi, Aunt Mary!  Here's a WWII poster in honor of the 60th anniv. of D-Day.  We watching some of the dedication of the WWII Memorial in Wash. DC which was on public television.  Very patriotic.

Sorry to hear about your fall.  Hope you are up and about without too much pain.  When Roberta told me she had talked to you I figured it was no longer a secret.

We had a good Memorial Day weekend and now comes our busiest time of year at the library – the summer reading program

Love, Catherine & Gerry

Same caption as above, substituting Freedom from Want

6/5/04 Hi, Aunt Mary!
Here's another WWII card.  I always like Norman Rockwell pictures – he captures the family spirit.  We've had two days of 110º this week but supposed to cool down to a mild 101º in a few days.  Summer is definitely here and the kids are swarming into the library so that is good.  I'm beginning to prepare for my branch manager interview which will be the end of this month.

I had a good phone conversation with you and Marianne the other day.  How are you feeling?

Love, Catherine & Gerry

1974 Roberta's letter -Jun 10

Roberta has returned to New Vienna since the last correspondence and is ready to start her summer job at Wells, aka "The Shop."  Meanwhile others in the family have traveled to Lakeside where, according to the envelope, they are staying at Taylors Island View Resort.  (According to the website: taylorsresort.com/cottages/html this is now called Taylor's on the Bay Resort, same address but in Marblehead Ohio "on beautiful Sandusky Bay."  The rooms and cabin pictured have a vintage look.

June 10, 1974

Dear Family,
Hi!  It's not quite 6:20 AM and I'm all dressed, fed & ready to go to work.  This will be short since I want to be down there to see what time everyone gets in.
Yesterday G'ma & Ruth & I ate Gold Coin [?] and then we went to Americare.  After we got back we decided to call the Hortons – to wish Rob Happy Birthday, let them know we got home OK, etc.

They were all fine – Rob is happy to have his diploma, but his audition (sp) isn't until the 21st of June.  He's to start work the 24th of June.

Ruth is supposed to come today to pick berries – if I'm still among the living maybe I'll even do same tonight.  I just hope now that I make it till the 10:00 AM break!

I'll have to tell Donna that I'm using my brains – Ho, Hum! (Not my hands)

I rode the bike yesterday quite a ways – Mary V – how are you doing w/out T.V.?  I don't think I've had it on since you all left!

How did the bikes make the trip to Lakeside?  Or going to Church all the time?

Serena – how are the donuts ––

Gotta go – don't want to be late –

Love, Berta

1974 Catherine Letter -Jun2,5

June 2, 1974

Dear Mom, Dad, John and Mary,

Hi!  Sorry I haven't written in so long.  We've been busy and the time goes very quickly.  The weather has been very lousy here for the past two weeks.  The sun shone on May 20th and then disappeared from view until yesterday afternoon when it made a brief appearance and then disappeared again.  Today it was cloudy all day but at least it was fairly warm (70º).

We got up at 5 A.M. yesterday morning as the cement truck was supposed to come to pour the footings at 8 A.M. and we had to make some last minute bracings for the forms.  However, it was raining when we got up and it was still raining at 7 so we had to cancel the cement truck because we were afraid the driveway would be too slippery for it.  Then about 9 it finally quit raining and it was rearranged for the cement to be delivered at 11.  So we did finally get the footings done.  It took 13 cu. yards.  After all that frantic activity of the morning we went to a formal dance sponsored by a local sorority last night.  I wore my bridesmaid dress from Marianne's wedding which was the first time I'd worn it in three years.  We went with a couple who lives down the street so we were able to meet alot of their friends including another guy who is building his own house.  It made for a rather long day, though, and neither of us has been overly energetic today.

Maine has started their campaign for tourists.  This year in addition to trying to drag people up from southern New England they are also trying to get Maine people to vacation in their own state.  The slogan is "Nobody is closer to Me. than You."

Our primary election is on June 11th so there is also quite a bit of campaigning going on for that.  There are 2 Republican and 6 Democratic candidates for governor with no incumbent so it should be an interesting contest.  We also get to vote on whether we want an oil refinery in Sanford.  The town meeting already voted to rezone the land for the refinery but some of the opposition got enough signatures to bring the question to a referendum so now we will all have a chance to make a choice.

June 5

Received your letter yesterday, thanks for yours too, Mary.  We finished taking the forms off of the cement yesterday so now we're ready to begin with the next step.  This coming weekend we have to clear an area 38 x 38' for the septic tank bed.

The Maine Library Association convention begins today and goes through Friday.  Fortunately for us it is held at the Shawmut Inn in Kennebunkport (about 20 miles from here) so most of the staff has a chance to go and we don't have to shut down the library.  X will be going all three days and I will be going tomorrow and Friday.

I haven't talked to Ellen or Tom [Walkley] since they have moved so I can give you no further news of Aunt Virginia.  I was going to call them last night and see if they are getting all settled but I forgot and now it's too early but I think I better mail this anyway or you won't get it before you go to Lakeside.

Love, Catherine & X

2014 Christian's Voice Recital -Jun8

Always impressed by the talents, aptitudes and accomplishments of the younger generations.  Today we feature Christian's vocal talents and congratulate him on his recital!  Transcription of clipping follows.

Ad for Christian's Voice Recital – June 2014

Christian featured in newspaper article – June 2014

Sing a new song

Teens present their first recital

by Dahlia Allen

Christian Crowson and Sarrah Long have been singing as long s they can remember.  They have sung at school, at literary meets, in talent competitions and in the Pine Forest United Methodist Church youth choir.

Crowson and Long don't sing together, but they will be on the same recital program June 8 – the first recital for both of them.  Students of Dick Burrell, 16-year=old Crowson is a 10th grader at Trinity Christian School.  Long is a 15-year-old home-schooled ninth grader.

Long discovered her soprano voice when she won first place in a sixth-grade talent contest at West Laurens Middle School.  "Then at talent camp in Florida in the sixth grade, I placed in all my categories," she said.

For her, that was a beginning.  More talent contests have brought her modeling and acting agents in Atlanta and New York.  Her goal is an acting career in musical theater.

Crowson said he started singing when he was little.  "People always told me I had a nice voice," he said.  When he was about 13, his mother, Mary Crowson who is choir director at Pine Forest UMC, realized he had something special.

A tenor who also can hit low notes he he competed in the state literary meet while in the eight grade.  This competition generally is reserved for high school students.  Crowson said he plans on a career in music education but has not chosen a college.

Last year, both Crowson and Long won first place in the state at the National Association for Teachers of Singing competition at Mercer University.  In March, Crowson won first place in in [sic] musical theater in the five-state regional competition.

In the June 8 recital, each will sing classical, spiritual and musical theater solos.  Crowson's classical pieces will be Schumann's "Auf dem Rein," Scarlotti's "Gia il sole dal Gange" and Quilter's "Blow, Blow Thy Winter Wind."  In addition, he will sing "Lord I Want to be a Christian" and "De Gospel Train."  His musical theater selections will be "If I Can't Love Her" from Beauty and the Beast, "My Name" from Oliver and "On the Street Where You Live" from My Fair Lady.

Long will sing Morley's "Animal Crackers" and Giordano's "Caro mio ben" for her classical selections.  She also will sing "Go Tell it on the Mountain," "Go Down Moses," "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," I've Got the Sun in the Morning" from Annie Get Your Gun, "Beauty and the Beast" from Beauty and the Beast and "As Long as he Needs Me" from Oliver.

Long is the daughter of Tim and Melinda Long.  Crowson is the son of Don and Mary Crowson.

the recital will be at 4:30 p.m. in the church . It is free and open to the public.

1984 Morgans good-bye Madras -June

Morgans moved from Madras, Oregon to Colfax, Washington in June 1984.  The library hosted an open house for "Cathy," and Gerry's co-workers and friends hosted a party at a place in Metolius (very small town about four miles from Madras) called the Desert Inn which was owned at the time by friends, Dan & Heidi McCool.  Dan worked at the Jefferson County Co-op with Gerry.

1954 Roberta Bible School -Jun6

I can understand why a Bible School class of pre-schoolers that included Roberta would have needed three teachers – would have been a fun group, knowing all those other children in the Methodist Church that were about Roberta's age.

[Re(ceived) 6/5/84]

Dear Family,

Hi!  We are getting ready for a creative evening  – making going-away presents for Ann.  One a picture collage (sp?) of Sr. Village residents & happenings.  The other a trash can – w/ all the county forms glued in a collage (?) manner.  Will let you all know how they turn out.

My flight is into Cincinnati 6/19 – Tuesday at 7:20pm.  It's flight #648 – direct from Phoenix.  I leave here at 1:05pm.  It's the same flight I took last summer into Cincy.  but I thought it left at 1:45 – so I got to the airport at apx 1:00.  All the coach seats were filled – so I got to go 1st class!

This summer 2/Sid getting me to the airport I'm sure I'll get there in plenty of time.

My return flight leaves Cincy 6/26 at 9:45 AM – I've already got my seat assignments for both flights.

Serena is working toward her departure date of Saturday – early AM.  Sid changed her oil etc. in the Chevette.  She is cleaning out her car for the 1st time since it has been in Arizona!

We go up early Saturday AM up above Payson – it's a work project w/ U.S. Forest Service. Will be planting trees & building fences.  We had talked about taking the trailer – but have decided just to drive up – Will stay at Christopher Creek Lodge.  Only be gone 2 nites – would be a hard climb up w/trailer – & lots of prep work to get it ready for such a short trip!

I called Goodings last nite – Bev. Gooding got her executive job – Kettering Foundation.  Sure sounds like a neat job.  She was to start today.  They were quite surprised I had called.

Have talked w/ the Morgans.  Wendy is sure excited about coming to Ohio & doing her mouse-ercises w/ her Grandma.

We bought a water-pik yesterday.  Looked at them in 3 different stores – varied in price more than $8.00 for same model.  Used it for the 1st time this AM.  Ever used one?  I'll get lower bridge put in next Monday.  This will be the end (thank goodness) of major repair!  Now to maintain!

We've been in the pool about every day – water temp up to 85 º. I like it when it reaches about 95º in the water!  Sid cleans the pool almost daily – always looks sparking clean!

See you all the 19th – 7:20!  Exact August dates coming!

Love, Roberta

Please don't have home-made ice cream waiting for me!!  Mary V – does it feel good to be out of school?  Serena – see you there?  See "you all."  Love, Berta

1934 postcard: GHU to CJU -Jun.4

Grandma travels, we know not with whom, to Kentucky in the 1930s, without Granddad. The stamp has been neatly cut from this card, removing part of the postmark so that only the 193_ remains.  The first letters of the date indicate JU 4 so probably mailed in June, though in the 1930s mail may have been postmarked even on holidays, so could be a fourth of July trip to Kentucky.  Transcription follows.
