Milford's Main street "■— — >l,

MILFORD HAS its IU and Purdue fans. This became abundantly apparent when Purdue defeated IU (75 to 64) on Thursday, Feb. 26, to make the Boilermakers tops in Big Ten basket- ' ball competition. | Bob Brown, a 1949 Purdue grad, couldn’t let the occasion pass. He showed up the next morning at J-W’s Drive-In wearing his yellow Purdue sweater and yellow John Purdue hat. He also took along a camera to record the occasion. He photographed Bill Little, an IU grad and ardent Big Red and Bobby Knight fan, wearing a Purdue knit cap and holding a doll wearing a Purdue sweater. Terry Musselman, no IU grad but just as ardent a fan, was also photographed wearing the Purdue chapeau. All in good fun. The little doll, a mascot of sorts, plays I “Hail, Purdue.” Little usually posts the Big Red flag on a pole in front of his South Main Street home, dropping it to half mast when IU loses. But following the big game, the pole sported a Purdue flag, thanks to neighbor Dan Brown, himself a Purdue grad and just as big a fan as his dadr-. CONGRATULATIONS GO to Elmer Sorensen who recently received a gold watch for 25 years of service with LRC Products in Warsaw. Sorensen, a resident of r I Milford, is shop foreman and, as we understand it, will be assuming dispatching and operational duties in the future. NANCY HICKMAN has reported seeing a robin.

This came to light |over the weekend on an outing to South Bend. I wrote a check (that’s an observation in itself — soon they are going to have to make checks larger for all the information that has to go on them) at one of the stores and the gentleman who waited on me commented on the fact he lived here in the 19305. The clerk at the register overheard the conversation and

said she loves to come to the lake to visit friends. “It’4 so beautiful.” J Next stop: Dinner. It became a

game. Did the waitress know where Milford was? To our surprise the answer was “yes.” It seems her family is related in one way or another, she couldn’t remember, to the Theo Beers. She did, however, remember making trips to Uncle Theo’s farm as a youngster and her sister was in Nappanee to purchase a new car from cousin Bernie. This was beginning to be fun. So, at our next stop, we asked the clerk if he had ever heard of Milford? “Yes,” came the answer once again. “My daughter is an art teacher at Syracuse and North Webster.” * Our final stop was at my brother, John’s, and he of course knows his way to Milford quite well. We didn’t have to ask him. It was, however, hard to imagine that that many people not only know where Milford is, they even knew something about the area or about the people who live here. — JRS
