MANY MJ staff members were delighted to see this newspaper clipping of Joseph and Mary Judkins and their 1950 Studebaker. So, we decided to share it with our readers, knowing many would also enjoy learning a little about these former Milford residents. The photo and clipping came to us from Darrell and Evelyn Orn who, since retiring, have made their home in Bradenton, Fla. Evelyn writes: “Joe had his car in a Shriner’s parade in the past at Venice but had a water leak and had to leave the parade.” For their friends at the Christian Church, Evelyn writes, they feel right at home at the Westside Christian Church.

She further states that two of their children, Jim of Fort Wayne and Alanna of New York state, will be there over Easter break. The Orns spent a recent weekend with Stan and Phyllis Custer. They went to the Everglades where they saw about 50 alligators and took an airboat ride. They have also seen the Seth McFarrens, Joe Esteps, Betty Whiteman, Dale Stumps and Peg Bucher and children. The newspaper clipping the Orns sent on the Judkins reads as follows: “Joseph and Mary Judkins of 930 Darwin Road, Venice, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a dinner at the

MILFORD’S ASSISTANT street superintendent Randy Veach, and his wife, Cindy, will be spending three nights and four days in Las Vegas, Nev., as the result of Randy being named the winner of one of WBTU radio station’s contests last Tuesday morning, Feb. 23. Still finding it hard to believe, the Milford couple will be leaving in approximately three weeks. The 3‘/ 2 hour flight promises to be an exciting trip for both — Randy and Cindy have never flown before! We understand this was not the first time Randy was a winner. He previously won a country quiz contest and received a free car wash and a tax information booklet — not quite as exciting as this chance to stay in the Lady Luck Hotel on Las Vegas’ main strip.

ANDREW (Laura) Kammerer, Leesburg, is visiting her son, Glen Kammerer, and his family, at Santa Barbara, Calif. She writes it is warm and she walks one-third mile a day.

were formed in 1976 and consists of approximately 60 members. The name originated from Stone’s Trace, an historic tavern located on SR’s 5 and 33. The restored building was a stage coach station and tavern built in 1839 by Richard Stone. President Kent Mishler said people sometimes have a misconception as to what the group does. For example, some members of the group dress up in clothing that would have been worn up until the 1840 s. “A lot of people think we’re Indians,” said member Monte Kahle. “We just want to dress and portray our forefathers.” He added that the special attire is by no means mandatory, and that probably half of the group wears regular street clothes. In addition to the March 6 program, the group sponsors many other events throughout the year. For example, on the second Sunday of each month they hold a shoot out at their Stone’s Trace range. During the summer the

regulators compete in an organized league shoot, which is also held at the range. And, there will be several special events in late summer, such as the First Annual Graydon Blue Memorial Shoot on August 13 and 14, and the 12th Annual Stone’s Trace Pioneer Crafts Festival, on September 10 and 11. The “Black Powder and Buckskins” program is being presented to show that muzzleloading rifles can be for everyone. Monte said, “We are interested in promoting safety in muzzleloading rifles. And, we have many qualified people who can guide others who are interested but have no experience.” Monte’s wife, Judy, added, “It is a chance for everyone to see up to date modern equipment as well as some antiques. There is something in the club for everyone to do.” Along with muzzleloading rifles, other things to see will include: shotguns, pistols, slug guns,,buffalo guns, bench guns, percussion and flintlock, indian artifacts, primitive camp, craft demonstrations, gun work, and inkle weaving. In addition, tomahawk throwing and fire starting will be demonstrated - weather permitting - and Earl Franklin will be on hand doing scrimshaw. The doors of the Syracuse Scout Cabin will be opened at 10 a.m., with the program running until 5 p.m. No pets or alcohol will be allowed on the premises.
