1967 Jean's Letter -Oct.29

Sunday,

Oct. 29, 1967

Dearest Catherine,

Enjoyed our visit with you and anxious to hear how you get along with your shoes.  If the ones from N's aren't satisfactory – by all means – do not  keep them & I'll try to pick up something either at Wade's or elsewhere but do let us know.

John & Serena did get to go to the carnival as we got in about 8:00 last night.  It was surprising how quickly they got the car unpacked in order to get to go on over to the school.  The Kuntzmans were down – but only John & Serena saw them.  Al & Rev. K. didn't come.

We picked up Mary Virginia & Mrs. Thornburg said she's been so good & never mentioned us.  Mr. T. had fallen out at the farm, infection developed & he has to be in bed for a couple of weeks.  Wilma said it was a blessing Mary V. was there as it took both their minds off Mr. T's troubles.

We talked to Larry Pope's mother & he started to some United Electronics School last week in Louisville.  He goes to school 4 hours in the afternoon & then may work from 5PM to 1AM at a Kroger store.

Linda Hause has been stuffing things in her mouth & she choked to death yesterday.  They are having private funeral services Tuesday – no calling yours but contributions may be sent to the Parents Volunteer Organization at Orient  in lieu of flowers.

Mrs. David Allen had a little girl Oct 22 – Jodena – 4 names altogether.  7#14oz.

Got an invitation to an Alumni & Friends of K College meeting at some home in Cincinnati, Nov. 8 (Wed) They plan to show a film "Face Michigan" and give the latest news of K.

Mary V. wanted to know today if you were counting your money.  – Don't know exactly what she had in mind but think she knows you pretty well for "counting your pennies."

Sorry we didn't get to meet Evan – Did you get to Church this morning?  We actually got there early – As someone said, we could use an extra hour every Sunday AM.

Thought of lots of things afterwards – that we didn't get asked or tell you but will try to make up for it at Christmas unless you decide to come home sooner.

Got R's permissions off to her – She called while were at UNICEF – Intermediate MYF tonight but John talked to here.  We collected $65.52 – $1.02 more than last year.

Love ––– Mother
