Dear Family:
Our immediate New Vienna family is shrinking. Serena left last Saturday and M.V. will be going this next Monday. In fact she has been gone a lot this week. John is to be down this weekend and the Kings in two more weeks.
Bill Smallridge passed away last Sunday morning, you may recall that his son, Clarence died last year. Bill's two daughters with their husbands arrived yesterday from L.A. They called me about going to the Lions Club this evening. They seemed to enjoy getting away from the "mourning."
Mother got her new hearing aid Monday afternoon . . . most of it is on the outside of her ear, which is more comfortable than the previous one. The new one also has more flexibility on controls. For volume there is a range from one to four and she uses the low mark of one.
We are sorry to hear that the Morgans cannot make the January trip, tho we certainly understand. Last Sunday evening we went to a preview of the trip. One of the couples going on the trip are good friends of ours – she teaches at N.V. and her husband is an executive with Krogers in Cincinnati and is also a pastor at a nearby Church (talk about being busy).
Have heard that Clyde Irwin has cancer . . . after he got married again he moved into his wife's home near Dayton, so we don't see him much anymore. One could not ask for a better neighbor than Clyde. You will recall that he always looked the picture of health.
Catherine, you asked about my schedule. I think I will work Tuesday afternoon, all day Thursdays and Friday mornings. Nancy Cooper is there full time now so the library is covered and after she learns "the ropes" I may be able to take more time off. The 6th grade classes are contained to themselves and only the 7th and 8th grade classes among each other so there is a lot less walking thru the library. It is a lot different this year.
We enjoyed reading some of the reports Serena brought home from library school and know she felt good from the Prof's very positive comments. She will be finishing up in December.
The Clinton County "Y" is now under construction . . some 2 Million worth which was raised voluntarily in the area. It will be a nice addition to the present Wilmington College facilities.
[love, etc.]
