Parents, students or any willing helpers are surely welcome. Bring hammer and saws. Fun!!

One of the quilts owned by Mrs. Beeson took 35 years to complete. It has 6,440 one-inch squares in it. She said when she was a small girl her step-grandmother had a similar one and it fascinated her so she decided to make one for herself. When she first started it her husband's 90-year-old grandmother cut many of the squares for it and gave them to her. It was a tedious job so she worked at it off and on for 35 years before it was finished in a size to fit a double bed. It contains both the pastel prints of the early years and the brighter colors popular in recent years. Another quilt which Mrs. Beeson has was made from a pattern and has the state bird from each state painted on it with textile paints. She has used textile paints on other quilts, including one of her favorites, a brightly-colored one with peacocks, which she designed. The faces and legs of the birds are painted, the feathered tails are of multi-colored fabrics. To get materials for her quilts, Mrs. Beeson attends rummage sales and buys remnants. By selling her work she gets enough money to buy material to make another. Mrs. Beeson also enjoys gardening and fin~s time for a third hobby, writing lyrics for songs. The Beesons, who live on Coulter Creek Road, came to this area 26 years ago from California where, Mrs. Bees'on reports, she worked in the cotton fields to help raise their six children. Mr. Beeson worked in the Christmas tree business for G. R. Kirk before his retirement. The couple has been married 52 years. In addition to their six children and 27 grandchildren, the Beesons have 16 great,grandchildren. at LakeLand ViUage had a match versus par contest.

Ron Burke came closest to the pin on No. 5 and Russ Dahl on No. 8. Norm Sanders had the longest drive on No. 9. The ladies didn't fare as well with the weather. They started their tournament after the men finished. It was warm and sunny when they started, but before they were finished they had had rain, hail, wind, thunder and lightning. Patti Schillinger is the ladies' handicap champion; Faye Boroughs and Billie Churchill tied for second place. June Connelly came closest to the pin on No. 5 and Patti Schillinger on No. 8.
