Colder weather arrives as editor contemplates spring duties and weeds. Fathers of high school and ninth grade wrestlers gather at the 4 H building on the fairgrounds for a men’s dinner chaired by Carl Warner. About 95 men attend. 50 pounds turkey fries and 10 pounds ham run out. Dr. Russell Maxfield adds a hot sauce finishing touch. Carl Warner is reelected next year. I address a rumor about a Telegram obituary mix up and note coach Bob Wilson is joining a four member men’s quartet.
