Another popular activity under the supervision of volunteer Julie Wehr was constructing paper rockets and launching them by stomping on a two-liter plastic pop bottle attached to PCV pipes. The children used paper and duct tape to make their rockets. Teacher Bruce Todd distributed decks of cards and gave directions for a fitness game for children to...

I arrived at the immaculate farm of Ed and Doris Jasman on a gorgeous spring day. They have lived there for 58 years, and Ed still farms a section of ground there. After they married, they basically had no furniture for the first six months. The exception was Ed's TV, a possession that ranks high in importance, he told me. After that, they relied on gifts or hand- me-downs to furnish their home when they were first starting out. Fast forward to present day, their home today...

I arrived at the home of Wilma Schmidt, to interview her on the eve of her 86th birthday. I was a little intimidated, because she is the mother of our esteemed editor. She was so welcoming, and I immediately felt comfortable in her charming, quaint home. Noticeably on the kitchen table, was a huge piece of unrolled paper, probably 10 feet long and 3 feet wide, with a painstakingly detailed family tree of the maternal (Walter) side of her family. I saw many familiar names of...
