Families unite for vacations and fishing in Colorado and Oklahoma
Mrs. Selma Carrell and daughters Nadine and Rhonda visited her parents in Menard while other Carrell relatives from Lub bock and Shidler Oklahoma joined them earlier in the month. Antanita Colorado guests fished for speckled trout with Tip and Jeff Jackson, Jeff learning fly casting and enjoying the trip despite mixed days. Return home included sharing the catch for a future fish fry, with idle days spent playing checkers. Nearby El Paso visitors Mr. and Mrs. Ted Noelle, sons Andy Steven Jeffry, came to see Mrs. A J McKenzie, as Ted prepared to report to Fort Bragg after Vietnam. The vignette closes with a light moment over a mashed finger and a speaker’s “ouch” laugh.
