Leon's work area, as shown in the photo taken by MJ staff member Kate Wolford, wqs decorated with balloons and paper streamers for the event, which took place on Thursday,

Sept. 21. He joked that not many people reached such a great age. —o— . DOROTHY LAWBURG Elliott wrote from her Fort Myers Beach home to say she is always amazed (when reading the M-J) how few names she recognized, in both Milford and Syracuse. She noted. "Living away from Milford since 1936 and from Indiana since 1943 surely makes a difference. Also makes one feel old! Which I am and hate to admit! Over the years I did get quite a lot of news from Hoy Jones and other friends who had moved to the West Coast. And from my life long, friends. Marybell and Jack Sharp. I did enjoy especially reading news about Dorothea Groves and Vera Miller Schell, who was our neighbor across the street....” —o— RECENT WEEKEND guests “of Dean and Ida Troup of southeast of town were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Volk and Mr. and Mrs. Sebastion of Freising, Germany. Mrs. Volk and Mrs. Troup are cousins. The visitors flew into Vancouver. B. C.. from London and traveled in Canada for a week. They told the Troups that the North West Country was breathtakingly beautiful. ' They flew into Chicago on Friday and stayed overnight, visiting various places on Saturday before travelling to Milford. On Monday they left for Niagra Falls and the Eastern United States. They plan to visit Nevy York city and Washington, D C . before leaving on September 29 for Munich, Germany. Mr. Volk was a visitor in this country two years-ago and, according to Mrs. Troup, enjoys the USA "very much." He said the people are all very friendly and helpful. The Volks plan to return

to the USA in the future for additional visits. —O'MR. AND Mrs. Stuart (Donna) Jackson and children, Diane and Kyle, of r 2 recently entertained at a neighborhood party in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Guild (the former Joan Freed) and son, Jonathon Hedges, who had been neighbors of the Jacksons for many years. The Guilds and Jonathon now live in Kailua, Hawaii, and were enjoying a short visit to the mainland. Attending the event were Mr. and Mrs. Larry Haney, Mr. and Mrs. John Gingerich, Mrs. Tony Zimmerman and sons, Jeff and Mark and Mrs. Betty Witman, all of Milford. Also, David Freed and Louann Engle. Christine and Ryan, all of Nappanee; and the former Shelly Hedges of Pierceton. —o—- — RECEIVED a letter in this week's mail from former area resident Jo Small who was one of the teachers at the Milford Christian School a few' years ago. Jo has spent the last few years in the Far East. Jo, who has many friends in the Milford area, writes. "In all honesty, we encountered quite a few problems this summer. Os course, you are all aware of the political situation. The ‘Beijing Massacre’ took place only two days before we were to leave for Hong Kong and for awhile we weren’t sure if we would even leave the States. It was decided that we would go ahead and work in Hong Kong for the summer, which was disappointing for all of us since we had been preparing for China... " The first part of the summer was spent in language ac-

quisition, and although this was difficult and discouraging on the whole, there were people who were blessed that our dependence on them for learning Cantonese. "The second part of the summer was concentrated more in teaching English in two areas of Hong Kong where missionaries were wanting to begin Bible studies. This was an exciting time for everyone because many of the students were eager to talk about their beliefs and to hear about our Lord. We were able to spend some leisure time with them also, which was a fun way to bond with our students. "Throughout the summer, we tried to work with the missionaries with whom we had the most contact, helping them with outreach and a number of odd jobs that needed to be done. They appreciated the help and the feeling that they were more free to do ministry work because of our help. They also appreciated the companionship that we all shared together...” Jo continued by stating she has moved to Charleston, HL, were she is working at a temporary service company so as to earn money to pay her bills. This week she is in Cincinnati where she has an opportunity to speak/co-lead three workshops at the National Missionary Convention. Her more distant future remains unclear at this point, however, she feels she will be working in the area (her home state of Illinois) for at least a year. —o— MR. AND Mrs. Harley Stieglitz of South Bend and Dr. James Stieglitz of Martinsville were cohosts of the Rapp-Stieglitz-Zimmerman Reunion held Sunday in the Hasting United Methodist Church’s Fellowship

Hall. There were approximately 70 in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Zimmerman of Florence, Ariz.,-had traveled the longest distance to attend. Mrs. Michael Zimmerman, Sr., was the eldest descendant present. The grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Harley Stieglitz gave a skit. Josh Bess played a saxophone solo; Rev. Bill Stieglitz read a poem by Riley; Dr. James Stieglitz recited the Gettysburg Address; and Berniece H. Dwyer spoke on the need for eye donations. A closing hymn was sung to the piano accompaniment of Mrs. Virgil Zimmerman. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bollinger of Walkerton will host the reunion in 1990. —o— MILFORD HIGH School graduates who will be spending the winter in Florida, or who plan to visit the Sunshine State next spring, are reminded to give their address to the Darrell Orns prior to leaving Milford. The second Sunday of March a MHS alumni reunion is held in central Florida. Last year’s reunion drew such a small crowd that it was decided more publicity is needed and Darrell’s wife, Evelyn, who is not a MHS graduate; and Glennis (Orn) Stump agreed to work on same. —o— REMINDER; MILFORD Firemen’s chicken barbecue is this Sunday at the fire station.
