Sara Case Says .. By Ardis Larson. “PEOPLE!" what’s more interesting than people? . . . Nothing, and nothin’s nicer'n people, and Sara has doubts that any other place than Syracuse, has more interesting or nicer people . .. The late Edna'Geyer's companionship years back, is remembered, on news trips around the lakes . . . She always dressed for the weather and season, was perfectly comfortable for Sara’s stops, and truly never minded the “just a minutesss.” which always took longer . . . one memborable trip ended mid-afternoon at her Syracuse Lake home for tea before a glowing fireside .. . Jesse and Wade Zerbe. whose kindness personally and to others we have known ... a statement of news some 3 years ago. from Mrs. Sol Miller, “My daughter etc ,” and when asked, “you mean your daughter-in-law?’’, found she meant Jean Miller, but just naturally deemed her as her daughter, a nice thought, we say! ... Mrs. Adah Miller, whom we have observed in large or small groups, always finds the one. if any. who seems alone or sad, and 'brightens their corner' . . . The Vem Brinkmans, who had hosted a couple whose attempt at wedding anniversary trip had failed, due to car trouble, but were “warmed’’ by Brinkman hospitality .. . Mrs. John (Anna) Sudlow. helped us through a few bad moment at a large group meeting . . . and John, even, stood ready as ''taxi" if needed. when a reporter was “stranded” after a South Shore Hotel convention . . . Ann Hire who was “tops'” at- easing a giant hurt, some 2 years ago . . . June Anglemeyer. a never-fail friend . several students of Our Lady of the Lake Seminary, who practially lifted a Crosley out of a bad “stick in the mud” ... Blanche Bates who has “mothered” many a person, ill or broke, or even just bent a little, and there’s a recol < lection of a hospital bed. or wheel-. chair, she engineered for a sicki person a year or so ago, we never did get her to tell for whom it was . . . Bart Cox who "saved” us from getting Sara's column muddied up once when we were in a deep peeve i over a public remark heard, that: hurt several people. Mr. Cox said, ■ as near as he can be remembered, “You have never been unkind to Sara’s column”, so we hung our head, and erased the words . . . Mrs. David Culley. Wawa.ee. who, murmured over our asthmatic; climb up her steep hill from the I lower level for a desired in ten’lew about 4 years ago, and | served up a real cozy hot chocolate ~. Mrs John Alway. and the late Mr. Alway. whose garden tastiesi often found their way to our table . . . Mrs. Truman Warren, Wawa ■ see, who has extended many pleasures and

kindnesses—and altho we could go on and on. with many such, we’ll stop with a honey that pushed the old ego away up to the skies, Mrs. Sam Houser. Wawasee. asked one summer about 4 years ago, “Do you ever write local news besides your lake news?”, and upon hearing the answer, oh yts. sometimes, she said, “Well, I thought you wrote —and named the item, truly it sounded like you”, and added, “it had...we won’t finish that sentence. but how we loved it! and we’d like to sneak in one about our boss-man. who was extra-special last Friday, and so were many others. Sara has discovered “Lee Land” at Highland View Gardens, Wawasee. well its been discovered before, but we nearly got stuck there some time back, when ‘snooping’, before the road was ready- for use. sitting there brooding as to whether. we’d get out okay without having to appraise, the spouse, seemed to help, for a former suggestion. well an order of “hish”, came to mind, “rock'it gently back and forth, and then Stay Out of places not open to the public” and got out..hut say thats a beautiful spot, large high ground, a channel, wooded area, overlooking Bay Shore Beach, and across Wawasee Lake to Morrison Island. Remembered several years ago. seeing a fire there from across the lake at the Ceesswell apartments, near Galloways Point...ateo remembered Mrs. Maurice Lung, (who with her husband, operated the Bait Store there, near the State Fish Hatchery. and who owned the fire threatened property.) said later that day. “the Syracuse Fire Department had responded so quickly and the fire was soon under control...remember mostly how she said, in effect, “the ground would not suffer much, but it was hard on the many, many birds and wild life, which abounded there, a nice thought -well after becoming ’unstuck’, we finally noticed a sign, so “Lee Land” is evidently being developed by the Maurice Lungs, and Dr. Robert Riddle. Club Notes . . . The Syracuse Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star honored the Pas’. Matrons and Patrons at the regular meeting Wednesday. ‘December 8.
