with the promise of getting together again in August 1991. What a fantastic day at the Jr. Olympics at the North Liberty Church of Christ on Saturday. There was a time when 1 didn't think that anybody would show, but to my surprise, we had over 50 K-6 graders attend. The day was filled with games and awards, for everybody who came and we enjoyed the magic bv Brother Charles Richmond. who challenged the children to be faithful to God. Watermelon and K(X>l-aid was a special treat at the end of the day. The Elizabeth Albright family held their family reunion last Saturday at the Community Building. There were 45 present coming from Calif.. New York, Fort Wayne. Wabash, Michigan City. Chicago. South Bend and vicinity. Francis Slattery, now 94. was the oldest member present. Carl and Barb Zimmerle attended a birthday party Saturday for their little granddaughter. Abby Sailer, at the home of her grandmother. Dorothy Sailer in Vandalia. Michigan. Others present were

her parents. Frank and Lorie Sailer and son. Ben. of Indianapolis. Barry and Gary Zimmerle and families and Mike (lark and family. All enjoyed a wonderful party for Abbv and she received many useful gifts on her 2nd birthday. 1 visited the old dime store the other dav where I worked for 15 years and I couldn’t believe what Dave Craft is doing to that building. The outside is getting a new face lift, which it really needed, but the work and remodeling on the inside is unbelievable. It is sure going to be a big improvement in our town. I can hardly wait till he opens the doors, as I want to be his first customer. A large crowd was present at the Nature Center Saturday evening to hear John Schaust, Potato Creek park interpreter, explain how- they are going to interview the 20 some people out of the 93 original land owners and their goal is to trace the people and the ways they made use of this land, as it evolved from woodland to farmland and eventually into parkland. Our park will be the first state park in Indiana formally documenting its history and it will be a lasting tribute to the North Liberty residents. Following the completion of the interviews. they will use the information to produce a three-projector slide presentation. John also informed us that McCormick Creek was the first state park. Turkey Run, second, and Brown County, third. He also showed slides of the park from its beginning when they built the dam and filled the lake which was named after Darcey Worster. It had always been his dream to make a lake in that area, but he didn’t get to live to see it come into being, but his memory will always live on. to those who knew him. Dedicated in 1977 and much has been accomplished since then. It’s a great place to go camping, swimming, hiking, fishing or just attending a family reunion or get together with friends. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Lemert. who are here from Wisconsin, visiting relatives and friends took Mable Zchner and Gladys Sheneman with them to South Bend last Tuesday, where they met Helen Newcomer and then drove to the

Phoenix Restaurant where they all enjoyed a delicious dinner and reminised about all the good times they had together down through the years, since graduating from Tyner High School in 1932. In looking through all my old paper clippings that I have saved down through the years, as the state park is having a special meeting to write or show this Saturday evening. 1 ran across the Countryman’s Press, published on Wed.. June 15. 1966. and there was a full page of North Liberty News reported by Ava Holloway and she called it the Gate Post, remember her? The news was very interesting and one item told about the Thompson family reunion being held at the Sheneman Grove on June Sth. Those were the good old days when people came from everywhere to meet their relatives at Sheneman’s Grove. The Church of Christ will hold services for the campers at Potato Creek on Sunday morning. Sept. 2 at 8:30 a.m. at Peppermint Hill Shelter. This will be the last morning church service for 1990. Richard and Ruth Roush just returned after spending the past week with friends at Goose Bay Labador. in Canada. They enjoyed the plane trip, but had the misfortune of loosing their luggage, but it finally caught up with them. They met all these friends three years ago in Florida. While there, they took them on a seven hour drive to Church Hill Falls, the largest power plant in the world, when it was built and it was quite an experience to see all that took place there and underground. Remember its time for the Blueberry Festival again and on Monday. Sept. 3 will be the big stomp and parade. So. do drive carefully over Labor Day weekend as so many activities are going on everywhere. Theda Carlson, of South Bend and Gladvs Sheneman enjoyed

Clara Mae Kronk, celebrate her birthday which was Sundav. August 26th. The whole family was present to enjoy all the birthday festivities Friday night. Just received a letter in the mail today from Elynor Steele, of Michigan City, telling me that Harold is doing fine now and how much they appreciated hearing from North Liberty friends that they hadn’t heard from for a long time. Howwonderful it is to have friends, what would we do without them? Have you noticed the new school sign at the comer of Rankert and Tamarack Roads made by Bob and Nancy Bcghtcl? They began this tradifion back in 1987. It really makes our dav when we pass by, so please do as the sign savs. drive safely, as school days are here again. Frank Raucn. Jr., of Monette. Missouri, spent Tuesday and Wednesday night with his mother.
