it wasn't such a
SOme of our
)rs. A former
died a
ek ago. Since
up
leaving the Island many years ago
George and his wife resided in
Shelton. The funeral was held in
Olympia a week ago Monday.
Another Island friend, Gar
Williams was also hospitalized in
Tacoma a little over a week ago.
On his solemn oath he would be a
good boy the doctor released him
to come back home this past
Monday.
And still another Islander,
John Dunlap was hospitalized last
Friday evening. John, is in the
intensive care unit at Mason
General Hospital, and of course
can have no visitors. At this
writing he was resting well, but it
was also expected he'd be
confined for several more days.
And a former Islander that
had been hospitalized recently,
best known to most of us as
'Granny' Smalley has been back
home in Shelton with her legs
getting lots better. Then a few
days :ago Granny lost her grip on a
heavy cast iron skillet and
dropped it on her feet breaking
some toes in one of her feet.
We're all sorry to hear of her
unfortunate setback and hope
she'll have a speedy recuperation.
To each of these friends on
sick list we wish a most speedy
recovery.
Bob and Dorothy Barnett
took advantage of their twin sons,
Phil and David being home from
college on spring vacation to
'sistersit' with Nancy. (Nancy
claims she was brother sitting?) At
any rate mona and dad drove
down to Nevada to spend last
week. Among the several 'bright
spots' they took in was the Bob
Cosby Show at the South Shore
Room of the Harrah Club.
The twins had sure made
Dorothy and Bob proud enough
to pop their buttons. Phil finished
this quarter with a 4.0 average
and David just missed that same
grade mark by the width of a very
skinny hair? Congratulations
boys?
This past weekend the Ernie
Byers enjoyed having the house
next door bursting with life. Two
of their nieces enjoyed a weekend
on the Island at their parents
home on Pt. Wilson. Betty Jo
Radelett and her son, Denis and
one of his friends, along with a
friend of Betty's, Mrs. Ross, all
from Portland spent the weekend
at the Chaffee house. Betty Jo
told friend.,; here she plans soon to
open her own Chiropractor's
office in Washougal about fifteen
or twenty miles east of
Vancouver.
Another niece of the Byers,
Mrs. Ernie Chaffee of Vancouver
accompanied by six girl scouts
also enjoyed an overnight stay at
the Chaffee house.
The kind of visitors that
Gorden and Gret Simmons had
over this past weekend are really
appreciated. Their son-in-law, Sil
Arata and their grandson, young
Sil spent the major portion of the
weekend doing a number of
errands and chores for the
Simmons.
Recent guests of Helen
Lammers included the Johnny
Martins of Seattle. Johnny for
many years was Helen's foreman
at her place of business in that
city.
This past weekend eleven
members of the Seward family
enjoyed a long evening of
marvelous slides. Their son, Dick
had some he'd taken in Arizona.
And their old friends the AI
Andersons who are avid rock
hounds were also present and
brought along lots of their
pictures they've taken on the
many caravans they've taken.
Thora Seward's sister, Tog
McQuillin, spent several days here
on the Island with the Sewards.
Monday Helen, Thora and Tog all
jumped into Helen's new car and
headed for Alderbrook for lunch.
The weather left a lot to be
desired, but the gals didn't let it
dampen their spirits one little bit.
Sunday afternoon Esther
Goetsch had an impromptu
family gathering for dinner. Her
sister, Signie Callahan and
husband from Bainbridge came
down to spend the night. Another
sister, Dorothy Chapman and her
husband, Phil and part of their
family from Pickering dropped in.
Up from Portland this last
weekend to visit her dad, Theo
Waite was his daughter, Jerry
Lewis and her husband, Frank
and their three girls.
Pat and John Dunlap certainly
had their weekend plans changed
this past weekend when John
entered the hospital instead of
doing what they had planned. On
Thursday evening they had
attended the Opening Night of an
Art Show to be held at the old
Victorian Hotel in Port Orchard
and they were the featured artists.
(To their surprise their picture
with a story was on the front page
of the News Tribune one day last
week.) The story told of plans to
restore the old hotel for a
museum. The proceeds of the Art

show were to help finance this
worthwhile cause. Although the
show was originally planned for
just three days it was decided to
continue it for two weeks, since it
was doing so very well.
Saturday afternoon while
Pauline Carnes was visiting her
folks, the John Hitchcocks, she
decided to give an old high school
chum who lives near Shelton a
call to see if she could run out for
a visit. It had been ten years or
better since Pauline and Gail
Hurst had gotten together to see
each other and visit.
Saturday evening a number of
full-time and some part-time
Islanders joined a large crowd at
the Memorial Hall in honor of
Chet Streckenbach. Present were
the Martin Goetsches, the Bob
Barnetts, Barb and Jim Gorman,
the Otto Goldschmids, Dick, Joe
and Bud Glaser, the Glenn Yates
and of course, Stan and Willa Ann
Smith and their three girls and the
honored guest and his wife. The
dinner was very good
accompanied by a warm, friendly
atmosphere. Being a bit of an
amateur cake decorator, the
beautiful cake depicting Mason
County really impressed yours
truly. A marvelous tribute to a
truly wonderful deserving man.

LILLIWAUP - Daisy Vance,
long time resident of this area, is
currently hospitalized in Mason
General Hospital. Her daughter,
Marian Johnstone, reports that
she is doing well, and her
condition is good. For many years
Mrs. Vance was the Lilliwaup
correspondent for the Journal, as
well as an active member of the
Lilliwaup Community club and
other civic and local affairs. Her
many friends in the area may wish
to send cards and greetings while
she is ill.
Fishing Fair
A fair amount of mostly small
salmon have been hooked by
rugged fishermen in this area in
the past couple of weeks. Bob
Blanchard, who comes down with
his family from the Skok. Valley
to spend most weekends at his
Southside
[n
ospu
Ayock Beach home, got three
small silvers Sunday.
Spring Late
Which is putting it mildly.
The snow, sleet, icy rain, high
winds and consistently low
temperatures which have
dampened spirits and made for a
soggy world, have also deterred
the wild life. The black brant
which usually returns to this area
in February finally put in their
appearance about a month late.
The humming bird feeders have
been swinging forlornly in the
rain -- untouched. Not a sign of
swallows darting about as vet.
And the "peepers" which one
normally hears in early February
are just now beginning their
singing. The trillium are up, but
reluctanHy. The persistent
daffodils raise up their little
heads only to be beaten down
again and again and again. Elusive
spring, where are you?
An extensive slide just south
of Eagle Creek brought mud and
trees sliding down across the
hiway, blocking all traffic about
6:50 a.m. Monday. Luckily there
were no vehicles on the highway
at the time of the slide.
