Evelyn Orn: A secretary with a bosses' infliction

By MARK HUFFMAN Staff HMter ‘While most would consider serving as secretary of three different organizations as work, Evelyn Orn enjoys the challenge of transforming spoken matter into printed material. “Typing is my thing,” she said, her statement evidenced by the Warsaw repairman who once labelled her the fastest transcriptionist he’d ever seen.

Profile

Developing her love of typing during her younger years, when she would serve as a medical transcriptionist for Kosciusko Community Hospital and a secretary for Western Union, Orn also took up a pursuit normally reserved for the boss — that of golfing. “It’s (golf) my second love after eating,’* she joked of the game she uses her secretarial skills to coordinate — serving as scorekeeper for a Wednesday morning women’s league at Big Boulder Golf Course, Milford. While much of her golfing is still done within the women’s league, Orn originally “took up” the game to spend more time with her family. “Darrell (her husband of 45 years) had always been involved with sports and I just thought it would be something that the whole family could do together,” she said, refer-

ring to her two daughters, who now live in Lewiston, N.Y. and Shipshewana, and son, who resides in Fort Wayne. Born in Goshen, it wasn’t by coincidence that Orn would raise her children in Milford, spending many of her childhood summers with her grandmother in the small town. “When I was in the fourth and fifth grades I ran around with Darrell’s sister,” she said, adding, “He was always the ‘big brother’ who was never home.” Several years after that inaugural meeting, Evelyn would become Darrell’s wife, moving to his home in Milford. “I’m glad we raised our kids in a town like this instead of a bigger city — it gave them a better deal in Efd,” the Goshen High School graduate reflected. Becoming an active member of the community, Orn serves as secretary of the Milford Area Development committee, Milford Senior Citizens, and more recently, the sesquicentennial committee. “We’re going to have a great sesquicentennial celebration,” she said, adding, “The participation within the committees has been great — but there’s always room for more (people).” The celebration may also mark the end of Om’s days in Milford, as she eagerly awaits a move to Sarasota, Fla., in December. “Darrell will be retiring so we’ll spend six months in Florida and travel the rest of the time,” she said, smiling at the thought of trading the cold winter months for the Florida sunshine. “It’s a whole different life down there, I’d go right now if I could,” she said of the place she visited 25 years ago and immediately labeled her second home.

Local man in revival of 'Funny Girl'

James Edward Kampf, son of Patricia F. Kampf, Syracuse, is playing in the first New York city revival of the Jule Styne-Isobel Lennart-Bob Merrill 1964 musical, “Funny Girl,” at the off Broadway Equity Library Theater on Manhattan’s 103rd Street and Riverside Drive, May 15-June 8. The 23-year-old actor-singer-dancer, who attended Wawasee High School, attended Ball State University, where he studied acting with Beth May and Judy Yorden and voice with Dr. Philip Ewart. He honed his performing skills in a number of productions at the university, and also sang with the Ball State University Singers as Goodwill Ambassadors for the State of Indiana. In 1980 Kampf began an apprenticeship in the theater with the Enchanted Hills Playhouse, working on props and scenery, in addition to playing in shows. The following summer he became a member of the company, appearing in eight shows ranging from “Kiss Me Kate” to “The Time Os Your Life.” After college be began a professional career at the Musicana Dinner Theater, West Palm Beach, Fla., appearing as a

• ’ ' - \ ‘ I Farris has work accepted for two nationally renowned art shows

An area artist/advertising executive, T.L. Farris, has recently had works accepted for two nationally renowned art shows. Farris, originally from Wabash, is a 1967 graduate of Ball State University, where he currently serves on the College of Business Alumni Board of Directors. He is senior vice president of Applegate Advertising Agency in Muncie and is a Lake Wawasee property owner. The 13th International Dogwood Festival Art Show in Atlanta is exhibiting Farris’ “Appeal to the Great Spirits,” a lithograph based on the Cyrus Dallin Indian sculpture “Appeal to the Great Spirit.” Bronze castings of the life-size sculpture stand in Muncie and in Boston. The Cheyenne Frontier Days Regional Art Show are displaying “Appeal to the Great Spirits” and the lithograph PASSING OF THE BUFFALO for their April/May exhibit. “Passing of the Buffalo” is also based on a Dallin sculpture of the same name, which stands in downtown Muncie. Farris says the ideas for the Indian lithographs came to him about 10 years ago and it has taken him that long to do something with the idea. ‘There’s no great planning into the pieces. The idea usually just pops into my head/ says Farris, ‘Sometimes it is based on need. Someone or some group may commission something, sometimes for a fundraiser. Ideas come in different ways. I have a varying style. Sometimes I will use abstract and sometimes realistic? Farris says he spends part of his year in his house on Lake Wawasee. ‘I don’t spend as much time there as I would like/ he says, ‘lt (the house) is open year-round. I’m there off-and-on from October to April and most weekends the rest of the year. A lot of my business is in Fort Wayne, so when I’m up there I try to stop by.‘ The Lake Wawasee area has inspired many of Farris’ work. ‘l’ve been going up there since the late 40s, ‘ he says,‘lt has inspired several pieces. Right now I have a rough work of the old Spink Hotel, which is pretty famous on the lake. I also have some photos of sailboat races. I have a good library of ideas to work with. I’ve just got to discipline myself to do it? Farris has reproduced his works and has signed and numbered them for sale. ‘The number of editions depends on the marketability and the supplydemand. The fewer numbers, the greater the value, but sometimes there is a need for a larger number? , By the end of the year, Farris
