j On the day we moved to Fort Wayne in 1952, we immediately fell ii love with our little neighbor boy , who was then just three. His hair was ■ snow white and never grew in length cn top, just around the hairline. He was above average in intelligence, with a terrific vocabulary and words always correctly pronounced. This .was Greg. ■ He adopted us as reaidly as we did him. His father was co-owner of a filling station and worked nights most of the time. The parents slept i latgl in the mornings, but Greg was an early rises as, were v e. He could dress himself except sortieing his ] shoelaces. While Don was shaving in the bathroom. Greg would come over and Don said he always felt in the j way as Greg came in to use the bathroom. Agreeable with his mother, we had Greg’s ‘treat drawer’ in our kitchen. Kept it filled with goodies and whenever it was treat time he would come in and always count enough for all his friends to share. Greg and I usually had our lunch together, his favorite being alphabet soup. It was fun to have this meal .with him. He would single out a letter from the soup and ask what it 'was. I always associated it with something with which he was famil- ! iar. ‘A’ was Ann. a- neighbor. The cutest incident was for the letter ’P.‘ Told him that was for Plugger Boy, our oldest cat. Then got to thinking I Was missing a good chance to plug Pillsbury (as Dan was with the company at the time'. Told Greg the second time it was for Pillsbury. He said “Oh no, ‘P’ is for Plugger Boy.” ' Was making cookies for him oneday and was elbow deep in dough when the phone rang. Asked Greg to answer it and as I made my way to the phone he had hung up. Said it was a wrong number as they wanted to speak to either his mother or his father. He was right. My first car was a 1941 Plymouth with something special that no other 1941 Plymouth had ' thank goodness for the other owners cf 1941 Plymouths. theirs didn’t have whatever it was If it would run the doors always flew open, or the brakes wouldn’t work. However, it did get Greg and me to the supermarket. On our way back home one day. a lovely new car passed us and Greg said. "Kathleen, why don’t we have a car like that?” I told'him it took a i lot of money to have a car like that. Instead of helping me with the (groceries, he immediately ran to his house when we cot home He was back in a hurry with his piggy bank, wondering if that w-oiild buy us a better car. He thought Don was Santa Claus’ special representative. He would bring the clippings of the things Santa was to bring and show them 'to Don, telling him in detail all about them. Santa always brought them. His parents shared him with us all

the time. At Christmas we went over [ to his house to see what Santa had brought that night. Then he came to > our house to see what Santa had left i for him there. ' He helped us with the lawn work and even-thing he could. He loved : my typewriter and treated it with 1 much respect, so let him use it. He always wrote his ’Dear Santa' letters I. on it—of course it would consist of i perhaps two ox three letters, but > Santa must have deciphered it. I had impressed on him a wonder- ; ful youngster he was to have around I and that usually little boys his age ’ made me very nervous. Three c. his 1 little boy friends came to our aoor ■ for him one d.-y and wanted to come ' in and play. Greg told them he would ! come out as all other children except him made Kathleen nervous. ( We were transferred" just prior to his entering school. Must admit my ’ eyes were teary when w,e received * our first letter from him in his own 1 t’.andwriting. He always had a big hug |or us as we visited him from i time to time, but suddenly he was i too old for ‘that stuff.’ Just received a letter from a former neighbor telling us Greg was quite normal—Beatle haircut and all 1 — still snow white. He was a wonIderful interlude in our lives. Happy birthday to Seth Ward on September I—he is so happy that in ‘ only nine more years he can collect his social security. Missionary Plane Dedicated Thursday A Cessna 185 airplane was dedicated Thursday at the Wawasee airport for use in missionary service in the Congo. It was given to the Congo Inland Mission of the Evangelical Mennonite church by Missionary Aviation Fellow-ship, formed in World War II by a group of airmen. Taking part in the dedication were leaders of the church who are meeting at Lake Wawasee. They stated the flying fellowship has saved untold hours of labor, taking the missionaries off the mule and out of the dugout canoe. The Cessna will serve more than 40 different mission groups in the Congo. The plane pilot, Ernest Krensin, a technical director of the Missionary Aviation Fellowship, flew it to New Orleans. There it-will be crated and shipped to Tshikapa. Republic of the Congo, African headquarters of the Congo Inland Mission. The first plane, a pre-war Waco, was assigned to Mexico. Gradually the air ministry spread to South America. New Guinea, Africa and the Philippines. There are now 27 planes being operated in 12 countries with a combined staff of 175.
