Some
of you know that my little brother, Randy bought the Ol'
Clark Victorian mansion a year or so ago. (Near the old Kozy
Korner motel area)......Well, he is a HUGE Halloween
nut....big fan of the movie Psycho, too.....He is retired
from the North Dakota oil fields and now works part time
driving a school bus....(think Ralph Cramden)......anyway,
he lit up the old Munsters, eh Clark place (1313 Mockingbird
Lane).....and attracted 127 Glidden Trick or Treaters.....great
fun for the big kid and the Little Wildcats.

Thanks
for the kind words on my sister, Donna's passing.
Tough
times, but everyone of us have or will be going through the
sadness and loss....Spouses, siblings, parents,
friends.....it is just tough...Donna was a real Glidden
Wildcat.....Class of 64.....cheerleader at GHS and Buena
Vista....married a Carroll guy. (Bruce Stevens, who played
football for my brother, Bill)...The class with Doyle
Douglas and Joel Shaner....we were in 8th grade when they
were seniors......Donna leaves a great family behind....2
school teachers and her son is a banker.....Tryons are down
to 3 left...and I am the oldest......just sad.....we miss
all of the laughter. Photo below is Donna with the award winning
dancer and tennis guru.....Paul Stougard.....they lived near
each other in Mesa, Arizona during the winter months.
Everyone likes the Stougards.......

Hope
You Had A Great Thanksgiving!!

food....Wow....
We had TWO boyfriends show up with the grand
girls.....UGH.....they did not say a word....(I should have
hidden the shot gun I guess).....my youngest is a junior and
the oldest is a freshman at UNI.....Gosh, they were SO
Little......not that long ago.....and my daughter just
celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.....You kidding
me?

New
Eating Place To Open In Glidden!!
Victor, our friend who owns Las Margaritas in Glidden is
getting ready to open The Old Bank in downtown
Glidden...Located on the very corner at the end of main
street....Where we U-turned to head back up North.......It will feature American food, not
Mexican.....it opens any day now.....and my brother and I
might be the first to check it out....It could be our next
hosting place for Wildcat Lunch.....probably around Lila;s
birthday in April...... |
The
Thrilling Days Of Yesteryear......
I love unique, old time photos.....maybe that is why I
taught US History for almost 40 years....here are a few that
some of you may enjoy.....love the memories....smiles for us
old timers....kids have no clue about hardly any of this now
a days.......times change, I guess.
Love The Veterans
All ages!! |

While
watching Television, Thanksgiving morning, I almost shoked
on my snacks as I saw THEE Warren Reidesel on my
Television....Wow!! He has always been such a celebrity......I quickly took a screen shot.......

.......Believe It Or Not....I was stunned......OK,
maybe I had a little too much caffeine and you know my vision is
not so good...... |
Time For
Quiz-O-Rama!!
Played by Tryons every Thanksgivng, Easter and
Christmas......and sometimes, Saturday nights.....We would
form a rather large circle. Someone what ask a question and
the first to yell out the answer got a point....if the
question was too hard, you lost a point.....Lots of
arguing....eventually you could only answer once....but
could tell spouse/son/daughter if they had not
guessed.....too many shouts, you lost a point....All ages
that wanted to, played.....My Dad was ACES on Iowa
rivers.....What river runs thru Cherokee.....Huh?.....

.....if you got the guts.....12 questions,
some easy some very tuff...... |
