Picnic on the beach turns into a comic disaster
A humorous account of a beach picnic honoring Bert Wheeler ends in fashion and age-related fiasco. Banter over outfits, failed athletic stunts, and jeers from lean young men contrast with skeptical cheers from the group and a self-deprecating finale about never returning to the beach. A separate note mentions Susan Miller of Jamestown planning a trip to Oregon, joking she cannot go for about 20 years because she is only eight.
