We just got back (3:30 p.m.) from the Valley & the annual mtg. which got a little "warm" this year. The L.C.W. [Lutheran Church Woman] put $5,000,00 into a Historical Fund for church upkeep & according to the constitution that isn't legal as any decision & money spent on the church bldg. must be authorized by the Council so finally it was changed so all is legal. The L.C.W. is run by e ladies & they don't want anyone else to have a say, but when that amt. of money is in question it must be run, so to speak, by the congregation. Even the Church Council can spend only 500.00 without the congregation's OK. Dad even threatened to resign if they wouldn't do things legally. It's in the past. Dad may seem easy going, but if it's not according to Hoyle, he'll work to make it so.
I'm enclosing the measurements.
The flowers are beautiful - thanks so much.
Dale finally has his car running so he doesn't have to depend upon others for rides. It's a nice little car & he says it rides good - esp. when he let some air out of the tires. Over 40 lbs. in each tire before.
We're all getting anxious for spring & warmer weather & no snow. It snowed again this A.M. Suppose to warm up.
Lent has started & now there are Wed. midweek services & Thurs. noon services at 1st Meth. followed by a soup & pie luncheon. We enjoy them. Tues. nite I'm leader for Circle & the topic is Unity & I have to put some finishing touches on that.
We never hear from Barb - we wonder what she is going & what her plans are. Maybe we'll find out sometime.
Some kids are playing basketball in the snow. Be cold on the hands.
Last nite 56 members & friends in Hessel Valley church had a Valentine dinner at Maplehurst County Club. Walter & Emma Johnson went with us (he doesn't drive at nite) & we had a great time. Good food & a little program with a Covenant pastor who spoke. Old & young alike.
Next Sun. Mel & Levina Karlson & a young man who started working at the hosp. in Jan. & comes to church, will come for dinner. So I'll have to clean the house this week - didn't dust this past week so it is time to get busy. Have my menu planned. He is from Pittsburgh area - went to Augustana & I thot it would be nice to be sociable & I like to entertain.
On Easter we will go to Dagus Mines. They wanted a pastor for that day & it's hard to say no. We'll go to the Vally on Palm Sun. for Communion, so we'll be free the 1st and 3rd Sun. in Mar.
Things are fine here.
Mon A.M. P.S. Tonite the N.Y.C. channel has 2 hrs. of Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners which we'll tape for future viewing!

Hope you got the pkg. all right.
I'm watching the last football game - Dad is watching golf. Soon we'll be watching our favorite team -- The Mets!
Doesn't seem possible it's Feb. 2nd. If you want to move in Mar. you'll have to get busy.
The boys don't think much of the Cavalier. Said it's a car for a school teacher marm - they like the Nova, or the Nissan. The Datsun has given you good service & is like an old horse now - wants to be put to pasture!
The boys will get busy on measurements. I suggested they go to Carnahan's & have Ed measure them - he know them from when they worked there.
Any housing arrangements you make are fine with us. How many can stay there. I'm hoping Barb will still be around & Kim might be coming so there could be 7 of us. We plan to get there on Thursday. Ruth wants us to visit after the wedding. And Linda invited us to visit them before the wedding.
The church in Dagus Mines might call a senior seminarian so that mean he would start in June so just 4 more months of visits for us. We go there next Sun, then meet Hollertz's for lunch, then go to the Installation of the new pastor (woman) in Johnsonburg.
The 15th about 40 from the Hessel Valley church are going out to dinner at Maplehurst County Club. Walter Johnsons go out there & they will ride with us to the dinner. A Valentine celebration.
The 16th we meet Bensons & Hollertzs in Kane for dinner. We're each bringing a Valentine to exchange & we got 2 cute, funny ones.
Heard a cute joke - Where did the Statue of Liberty get AIDS? From the Staten Island ferry!
Dale went snowmobiling last Fri nite & had a good time. With 2 from work - both married & Dale didn't get in til 3AM. The poor wives!
Dale has his license back but his car isn't ready - maybe this week he'll be driving it.
Signe had a nice 75th birthday. Carolyn & Ken had a party for her. She bot a microwave with birthday money. Roland took video pictures & after they heard we had a V.C.R. they decided to get one. So we're not the only one to spend, spend, spend!!
We got a ceiling fan on sale for 32.00 & Dad hopes to put it in the upstairs hall.
Lar got nice vinyl for his bathroom walls & has it finished.
We attended church in Wrrn. today & met a young man from the Pitts. area now working at the hosp. A nice young man and we invited him to dinner the last Sun. of the month. Will ask Mel & Levina, too. Have a good chicken recipe I can make ahead & them it bakes in 1 hr. I'll have juice & crackers & we'll be able to eat by 1:30. His parents are active in synod affairs so I tho't it would be nice to get better acquainted.
A week ago Gen & Bill Brader came for supper & we had a nice evening. He gave us some records & Dad taped them. Bill gave me an Oak Ridge Boys Tape & he's taping some Yorgy Jorguson records for us. Lot of people don't like Bill but we enjoy their company. We've learned to overlook some quirks. When you look a little deeper you find nice people.
All is well with us. Time will go fast. Everyone who sees my dress likes it.
Joyce O'Connor will be 60 this week & eligible for Soc. Sec. We plan to take her out to lunch to celebrate.

We had a lovely weekend. Colors are starting to be pretty. We were at the Valley - dad didn't preach. A farewell potluck for one of the members.
More work for Dad! The pastor (not yet 40) had 4 heart attacks so synod called & asked Dad to take the communion service Oct. 6 at Galeton (9AM) & Coudersport at 11 AM. About a 2 hr. drive so it will be an early A.M. drive.
Sat. Dad had a wedding at the Valley & we're invited to the rehearsal dinner Fri nite at Bud's Carriage House. Last Tues. he had a funeral from the Valley. Is he retired?
Wed. we went for lunch with Don & Pat Greendahl at the Vinyard, Fredonia. Then we shopped at the Mall nearby. Got a pair of real comfortable navy walking shoes. I love them. And a dress - light purple with a jacket. Just what I wanted. Expensive but I still got it.
We leave Oct. 8 for Gen's. They had some tree damage from hurricane winds.

How are things with you - are you enjoying your "professorship"?
Oct 8th we'll leave for Mass. That is election day & we want to be here to vote for mayor. So we'll leave shortly after 8 AM. Should be a nice time for a drive. Be gone for about a week.
Today we were at the Valley for the Communion service. In Oct Dad will confirm 2. Last Sun. we were in Dagus Mines for the Communion Service as they are without a pastor. They wanted Dad to come 2 Sun. a mo. but he opted for just 1 Sun. Afterwards we met Hollertzs & Bensons & went out to dinner. This coming Thurs. we're going out to lunch with Don & Pat Greendahl, former lay pastor at the Valley. Going to a nice Motel at Fredonia.
This past week we went to Holiday Inn for breakfast. It has been refurbished and it looks so nice & we had a good breakfast. In Oct. we'll go there for dinner with Hollertz & Bensons.
Have you been looking for a new car? Tried to call Barb today - no answer. We don't try to call you because we figure you'll be in Madison with JoAnna.
Last Thurs Danny (the gal who does my hair - her 3 yr old) was here for a couple of hours. Got some toys from the attic & we had a good time. Went to McDonald's for lunch. He wants to come again. Lori is expecting in Nov. & I told her I'd help while she is in the hosp. So I want Danny to get used to us. He is very outgoing & no trouble & I enjoy it.
We had 1 real hot week & I did nothing. Then it cooled off & almost too much too fast. No frost for us yet. Higher areas got some.
Just a note to say hello.
