By CARMEN YATES HARSTINE - Last Thursday, just a week after arriving back in Shelton, Charles Allison died in Mason General Hospital. Charles and his wife, Liz, had just returned from a winter vacation down in California. About the time they returned the flu bug was really making the rounds and they both fell victim to this vicious varmit. At the time of Charles' death both he and his wife were ill in the hospital. Following his death cremation took place. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family would prefer contributions to either the Children's Orthopedic or the Heart Fund. A great big congratulations to Kris Judd, an island gal, on being selected as one of the candidates for the 1973 Forest Festival queen. All members of her family are so proud (and justifiably so) that they are all popping their proverbial buttons. Esther Gortz, after having been away for some time, has once again become an islander. She has been living in Bremerton for some time now. Last week she returned to her island home and was fortunate to find employment almost immediately. It's nice to have you back with us again, gal. The grange held its regular meeting last Friday evening. The turnout of members was almost as good as the January meeting. But there's no doubt about it, the larger the number, the more interesting the meeting. When the grange bowling team gave a report it was learned that they deserve a big pat on the back because at the time of the report the island team was sitting prettily at the top of the heap. Wednesday of last week 18 gals and two little girls gathered at the home of Raymond and Margaret McCulloch to give her a belated surprise birthday party. Since we'd inadvertently overlooked her January birthday date we took advantage of Valentine's Day for the celebration. Two heart-shaped cakes decorated to suit the occasion and oodles of cards added the festive touch. Coffee and Jello were the finishing touches. A delightful day was had by all. This past Sunday afternoon Margaret and Raymond received another surprise. Their good friend, Bill Caruthers, and his friend and partner, Dick Nagel dropped in for an unexpected visit. When Ed Waite and his family recently went to Olympia on a shopping trip for a second-hand car they thought the one they selected looked a bit familiar. The salesman, when asked about the former owner, replied it had belonged to a very nice lady who worked at the Governor's Mansion at the state capital in Olympia. Well, most of us would have needed but one guess to identify Helen Johnson. Like the song says, 'it's a small world after all." This past Sunday afternoon this reporter and the two small-fry had taken advantage of a gorgeous day and a fairly good low tide to head for the beach to entice a few clams from their sandy hideaways for a good batch of clam chowder which everyone seemed to be hungry for. ' We looked up to discover we were no longer alone. Three other human beings were taking a leisurely stroll a bit higher up on the beach. On closer examination one of them turned out to be a Ill Like to whiz right in and out of your driveway all winter? ? Order Crushed Rock Now. Or Concrete Paving OM NE OF SHELTON S. 7th and Park 426-3344 former islander, David Gabrielsen (who had spent almost half of boyhood years first as a weekender and later as a permanent resident along with his folks) and his wife, Nancy, and a friend of theirs, Rick, all of Oregon. David was quite disappointed to learn that his folks had just recently sold the last piece of island property they owned; a hundred feet they had retained when they sold their home and the biggest portion of the property to Gordon and Shirl Larson. The two groups had merged and were poking around back in Spencer's Cove when still another group appeared on the beach. These newcomers were kind enough to rescue some buckets, shovels and even clams which were about to become victims of an encroaching tide. The third group of beachcombers turned out to be the Marvin Benglesdorf family of Tacoma who had driven down for the afternoon. Last Friday while shopping in Shelton this reporter bumped into Wayne and Beula Browning who'd just returned after having followed the sun south late last fall. Didn't have a chance to get a report from them for this week's colunm so perhaps we can catch that for next week. Last Friday evening Joe Glaser drove up to Bremerton to pick up his daughtor, Margy Jo, and bring her down to the island to spend the long three-day holiday weekend with him and the Glaser families at Ballow. Dale and Mark Tomlinson of Shelton were the weekend guests of Mike Glaser. Sunday all three boys attended a motorcycle race at Straddleline which is located between Olympia and McCleary. After the races all three boys stopped at the Tomlinson residence for a much-appreciated delicious dinner. Celia Glaser just returned home prior to the three-day weekend after spending a couple of days with her son, Dick, and his family in Shelton. While Celia was there she and Bonnie drove down to Montesano to visit a friend, Mrs. Whiting. A1 and Nellie Schenk, formerly of Camp Hoko and presently from their own property somewhere in the Olympic National Park near the old Olympic Hot Springs Resort where they moved their mobile home following Al's retirement the first part of this month, arrived here on the island for an indefinite stay. A1 is going to drive truck to haul some cedar and hemlock logs that John and Alice Budd have been having logged. The Schenks will be the houseguests of the Budds while A1 is driving truck for the Budds. A couple of weeks ago Pat Dunlap was the guest of Mrs. Sally Ware's fourth grade class, at the Lincoln School in Olympia. Mrs. Dunlap, a Harstine Island potter, gave the students some instructions in the art of shaping clay for a few hours in the classroom. Mrs. Dunlap was at at the invitation of add a bit of zest to career education. The attempting to show hobbies may be careers.
