Swim, fish, canoe the spring-fed waters; play tennis and hike the trails of the 434-acre conference center which offers animal and bird watchers a rare opportunity.  The ranch buildings are showplaces–a legacy from the original owner, an oil company president.  Program Charge $280.  
Courses:
Oddballs of the Bible: Introduce yourself to the ample accounts of unusual characters found in the Bible.  Look at a number of these oddballs, including Gideon, Esther, Hezekiah, Balaam, Samson, Elisha and Paul.
Birth of the Bible: From Manuscripts to Publishers:  Trace the formation and transmission of the biblical traditions from ancient manuscripts and translations to today's Bible.  Learn the complex process by which biblical documents reached their final form.

Gladys Hiestand (Uible) - High School pictures

Recently obtained a copy of the 1908 Hillsboro Ohio High School magazine, The Trident, published at graduation time in 1908.  Although there are class pictures of the high school classes of 1908, 1909, 1910 and 1911, unfortunately none of them have the students identified.  Based on Gladys' graduation picture she is fairly easy to pick out in her class picture.

October 1950 Postcard from Grandma

"These roads in the east keep one guessing for there are so many that go over, under and around.  Parking is nil ... and traffic is a continuous stream."

Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company c1945 postcard

Gladys to M/M HH Uible sent Oct. 1950 while visiting CJU's sister 

Serena and nephew Leslie Reynolds

As you can see Grandma wasted no space, writing in three different directions except for the direction of the addressee.  Transcription follows:

Sat. 9PM.  We are now in Cambridge Mass.  Left Serena's at 7:45 came by Providence R.I. arriving at Leslie's at 1 PM.  Had quite a time finding his street.  We have a very nice room 4 blocks away.  Leslie and Joan took us out to see the school etc. this afternoon.  There are many historical places near.  These roads in the east keep one guessing for there are so many that go over, under and around.  Parking is nil unless you know and traffic is a continuous stream.  Give Catherine [and think of her yet unborn siblings] a hug for us. Love, Mother  [Written on top upside down:] Dad has your letter.  [Written sideways in addressee part:] Mrs. Ballantyne have a good visit with J-H. [Lucie with Jean, Harold]

Added in 2010:

Catherine said re 1998: Also found a bankruptcy document for Luby's dated 11/27/2002 that the one at 1933 W. Dunlap was scheduled to be closed. That whole corner, including the site on the southeast of the parcel that was once an Ethiopian Restaurant, then Mexican, then Chinese has been demolished and is now covered with gravel, awaiting the next development. The last Luby's in Arizona, the one in Surprise/Sun City West closed in 2009.

From Dad re 1994: At Wells there were several good ball years, one customer used them in a gizmo for a back massage, like 15 balls in each unit and he sold a lot to folks who wanted the latest.
