That doesn’t sound very spectacular, but Pamer is only three feet high. “Pamer, 29 years old, is president of the Lakeland Camper Company of Milford and a member of the Syracuse Country Club there. “By the way, Pamer got his 108 from the men’s tee.” ♦ * * Grant county (Marion) circuit court judge Mike Kiley, well known in the Syracuse-Lake Wawasee area, has been on a diet to reduce and has had considerable success. , He proudly admits to having chopped 125 pounds off his form- ' er weight of 345 pounds. “But I still have 25 pounds to go,” he comments. The Kiley family has owned a home in Pickwick Park for many years. * s * Irvin (Jack) Zollinger, 915 Wilson Ave., Goshen, and Governor of Area Eleven, Toastmasters International, is interested in chartering a “Toastmaster's Club” in the Syracuse-Milford area.
