Saturday August 15, 2009

Saturday is a busy day for Bob and Nancy. We had breakfast at the Holiday Inn and then took a quick drive around TH. We drove by Nancy's old home on Poplar. It looks in good shape. Generally, TH appears to be going through tough times. However, we did not see a lot of homes for sale.

We attended a luncheon at a local rib house. Dr. Marietta and Nurse Hillary drove with us. Once again a good time was had by all. Of course the meal was a buffet and I had too much to eat. After lunch we visited the Clabber Girl Museum. It was very interesting. After the museum, we dropped Dr. Marietta and Nurse Hillary off at the motel. Nancy and I visited Honey Creek Mall. I walked around and Nancy had some shopping to do. When we got back I took a short nap.

The reunion banquet was held at the TH CC. It is a nice facility. The place was crowded. I think a lot of folks only attended the banquet. A class photo was taken of all the Wiley class mates. We were given a copy and it was real good. The evening meal was also a buffet. What else would you expect in southern IN.

For the Class of 59 the program committee hired an Elvis impersonator. Elvis came on the scene about 1954 and was really popular, especially with the ladies. The impersonator was only 50 and of course he did not have the moves. However, the main reason for a reunion is to interact with old class mates. In this regard I think the reunion was a huge success. We, Nancy, Nurse Hillary, Dr Marietta and yours truly, got home about 11:30.

Ossineke, MI this date in 1938. It was a very warm Monday. GG worked in the garden in the morning. He also got ice to Aunt Laura. Cousin David went to Hubbard Lake to help my grandfather Scott on the farm. They had thunder storms in the afternoon and evening.
