looking the waves of the Atlantic ocean. That is a day I shall long remember. I’ve attended one Eastern Star meeting in Sebring, then Cliff and I, with several other Hoosiers, were guests at a DeSotn | City Chamber’ of Commerce meeting one evening. Outside of a few fishing trips, I we’ve been here at home, and many callers have we had. Just before Arthur and Laura Giltz went back to Indiana they drove out to see how thef building was progressing, then on Sunday before we moved on Tuesday Jim Albin of Cloverdale and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Stoner of Greencastle stopped to see us a bit. From Bainbridge have come Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Gray, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Lefforge, Mr. and Mrs. E. Guy Ceilings, Mr. and Mrs. Alva Pruitt and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bee be. _ Eaeh left good wishes with us when they de-

parted.

It so hapipened that our first dinner guest was my nephew, Claude E. McGaughey, who was on his way to Miami and stopped to say hello. Before we moved from Reed’s Camp Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Sutherlin of Brick Chapel came to see us. Mrs. Joe Williams was quite 111 recently but is able to be out

again.

Along Hoosier Road in DeSoto City have come many other Indiana folks railing on first one and then another. Perhaps I didn't hear about all of them but I met Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ramsey and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest White of Russellville, who were guests of Bess and Harve Bressler and Harry and Olivia Neier. Someone said Milt and Mollie

don’t believe she had a dull mo-

ment either.

For the benefit of those friends of our's who drove through soft sand and dust to see us I want to say our road is being completed soon. What a relief! Eh? Won't that be nice when you come again next year to see us? If I have talked more about us it’s because I know more about us and if I have left out anyone who has been here this winter since I wrote last it’s because I have a faulty memory. Our last guests were Coleen and Fred Williams of Leesburg, Fla., who spent Sunday with us.
