afternoon they spent with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Duffey, in Mishawaka. They left on Saturday noon for their homes. ENJOY MUSIC Last Sunday evening some 150 people enjoyed a truly mountain top experience when Mr. and Mrs. Ray Chapman invited guests to come and enjoy the music of Sharon Klincdinst, Jeanie Jimmerson and Glen Jacob. They were accompanied by Sherrill Klinedinst who also favored with a piano solo. This experience was a paraielism of how Jesus taught and inspired people in his lifetime. The trio chose religious numbers and sang with professional impact as those who listened felt a personal impact as those who listened felt a personal message. The setting was in front of the Chapman’s beautiful home on the lake and many came in boats while other were seated on the lawn. The musicians used the deck of the home as their stage. I personally would like to thank the singers and Mr. and Mrs. Chapman for the opportunity to hear and to be present for this beautiful experience. Mrs. R. N.
