It notes Edgar Olney and Ronald Garcia visiting from Lake Zurich with pheasant hunting, the Baker sisters excelling in Make It With Wool, a 1964 Rams loss at 75 to 63 with top scorers Kurt Kaiser and Craig Hodaway, a 1954 Voice of Democracy radio contest with top participants John Prehn and Gary Clark, and earlier mentions of Thanksgiving gatherings, Army nurse Cadet June Shelgren, and community events in Pocahontas and surrounding towns.
