strangers. By now they're old
friends and John receives his
share of greetings each morning when he tunes in. The class
room sessions are supplemented by hour-long visits twice
a week with his biology teacher, Joseph Lyznicki.
All this came about because
of a bicycle accident last July
follOWing which John spent eight
weeks in Christ Community
hospital with a fractured thigh
bone in traction. Hethen graduated to a waist-high body cast
and was sent home where he
managed to get around pretty
well in a wheel chair with a reclining back. ow for the past
three weeks he's been on crutches, and, when he becomes
more proficient, he'll become
a full- fledged student.

not too prosperous.
In Holland, bicycles and boats
were a popular mode of travel,

were in evidence on the walls
of the cathedral; Milan, Rome,

Storm stories were still the
main topic of conversation at

wrap-up:
The man who came for a onenight visit and stayed for four
in the Joe Carberry home, 9123
S. 53rd ave., was Duffy Redmonds of Indianapolis, salesman for a veterinarian medical
supply company. He headed for
home around 11 a.m. Sunday via
Route 66.
Arriving just in time for the
BIG S OW were the Beesleys,
whose sojourn in Mexico was interrupted by a qUick trip to the
states to hospitalize the head of
their household, Art, in St:
Luke's- Presbyterian. They're
bunking with the Robert Eklin
family, 10013 S. 53rd ave.,
and the kids are temporarily attending local schools.
Lending a hand in true Girl
Scout fashion were these memoers of Cadette Troop 636: Denise Gierach, Cindy Allaway,
Jo Ellen Tieberg, Debby Zhe,
and Bobette Aardema, who along with Paul Gierach and troop
leaders, Betty and Harley Zhe,

services to Christ Community

spokesman indicated that their
most pressing need was for food
and so the group set out with

the necessary items or reasonable substitutes (Bus' Drive In

buns which could not be found, by
then, on grocery store shelves.
Lestner Schaffner walked that
same day from his home at 5501
W. 99th pl., to 63rd and Kedzie to be on hand to dispense
prescriptions.
Alma and Joe Spinka, 4848 W.
96th st., arrived in Chicago Saturday after vacationing in San
Antonio and New Orleans, where
hotels were jammed for Mardi
Gras. Theychecked their luggage downtown, took the Rock Island and then a bus to Evergreen
Plaza. The balance of their trip
took three hours, as they searched, in vain, for a bus heading
west, a taxi, or a car to rent,
and finally ended up hitch-hikIng.
A new member of the Oak

Maxwell, 9109 S. 54th ct., was
properly initiated when he
worked 78 hours out of 96. He
was well-conditioned
to the
white stuff, however, haVing
served Uncle Sam in Alaska. An
SOS to his sister, Sue Howells,
an employee at Kilty's restaurant, for a few tea bags brought
a donation of 500 from her boss.
Jim Bennett, 9510 S. 55th
ct., was trapped on the Kingery Expressway where he spent
Thursday night in his car and
then plowed a mile and a half
through hip-deep snow to a gas
station eventually jammed with
30 people. A nearby church opened its doors and there the
group spent the next two nights,
while parishioners kept them
well fed.
Little did Sue Cellini, 4937
Oak Center dr., dream of how
she would spend aportionofher
mid-term break as she left the
University of Indiana (Bloomington) with two friends in a
small Oldsmobile. After several days of spring, the kids
were not attired in their warmest gear, and boots were left in
the dorm. As they approached
the storm area, their route
changed many times due to a
roadblock and stuck cars, eventually taking them toward Ga.ry. Six blocks from Hebron
they could go no further and took
refuge in a restaurant. A grade
school down the street became
their home forthe balanceofthe
week along with 100 other stranded travelers.

Island hopping in the Bahamas, basking in the sun, and lolling on the various beaches
sounds llke anybody's dreambut Jack Pirie., 4028 W. 106th
pl., made it come true., although it was more llke a nightmare. His !Dlo adventure began
7-20 -\9.1
at Marsh Harbor in the Grand
Bahamas when he picked up a
27-foot rented sailboat (three
sails), 15 gallons of water, a
supply of canned goods, and half
an hour of instruction from the
boat's owner.
His previous
saillng experience had taken
place over a four-year span
in a single sail, 14-foot porpoise at Sister's Lake, Mich.
Feeling very much like Burt
Lancaster in his sporty yachting cap, he set sail for his first
port, May of War Cry.
There, seasoned yachtsmen
lined the dock as he made his
first landing, getting knocked
lnto the pit as three tons of
sail descented on top of him.
He kept the group entertained
with his next maneuver - mistakenly unplugging the dinghy
and sinking with it to the bottom of the harbor. The other
islands visited were., for the
most part, uninhabited - Cotland Cay, Great Guana, Gumelmi, Wh a I e., Treasure, and
Green turtle. It was on the
latter that he spent his one
night on terra firma, and as
the only motel guest, was treated to a special showing of
"Sinking of the Bismarck",
projected on a sheet between
two trees.
He managed to get his boat
hung up on a reef for a day
and a half, cut his foot on a
sharp shell, ride into a gale
which tipped him to a 70 degree angle., and to just miss
being engulfed by a seche. On
the plus side., however, were
hours of skin diving, collecting elegant rocks and shells,
swimming with a school of
angel fish, and seeing strange
and beautiful flora and fauna
in the tripical jungles. He arrived back at O'Hare in a pair
of shorts, cap perched rakishly on his head, three straw
bags dangllng from one arm,
skinnier than when he left,
sunburned, extremely tired,
but a happier man for having a
dream come true.

The past month has been a

family is a little larger, with
two sisters, Jean a freshman
this fall at Thornton Junior College, and Judy, an OLCHS senior; and Bobbie who will be
entering seventh grade at Sward
school.
Anne has brought with her an
elegant native costume, many
slides showing the Norwegian
countryside, and her Girl Scout
tmlform, which she showed off
to day campers at a recent session. She is active in her church
and Y 1C.-\, and hopes to follow in her mother's footsteps
someday. She will attend Oak
Lawn high school and Pilgrim
United Church of Christ, which
is sponsoring her under the International
Christian Youth
Exchange Program.

Not mentioned in the many
stories about the United States
Junior Wrestling team is the
lady who played "Mom" to the
20 strapping young men between
the ages of 15 and 18 on their
recent European trip. Coach
C.-aig's wife, Connie, had that
unique privilege and found that
being with such a group was a
distinct advantage in that they
did not follow the typical tour1st path. The Craigs, who live at
5110 W !lOth st., had exactly
one week to prepare for the
jaunt and that week was the one
1n which Jim had to take two
summer school finals.
The wrestling meets were
held in Germany where the entourage traveled from Frankfort to Ludwigshafen on the
Rhine river, with a side trip to
Mannheim and its chemical factory; to Heidelberg and its
charming shops; to Stuttgart
and the Merecedes Benz plant;
to
Munich, where everyone
spent their Yankee dollars; to
the beautiful Bavarian Alps,
and the towns of Gruenwald,
Chiemsee, and Ebersbach. Elegant castles were sprinkled
over the countryside, and flowers bloomed in profusion around the attractive German
homes.
Not so cheerful or pictureesque was the scene behind the
Iron Curtain in Bucharest, Rumania, where the senior division of the World Greco - Roman championship was taking
place. There, the Craigs went
sightseeing in a Russian limousine, saw the farmingcommunals, and many sad-faced people
who barely spoke to each other.
It was quite a contrast. On the
way home, they stayed overnight in Berlin, and during a
brief lay -over in London, visited the town of Windsor. They
hope to return in 1972 when the
World Olympics will be held in
Munich, where preparations
are already underway for the
big event.
Bill Vail, the Hometown hero who made the trip possible,
had been coached by Craig all
during his four years as a stud-
ent at Oak Lawn Community
high school. In his spare time,
the coach manages the tornado trailer park, and is in the
process of editing the 400 slides
he brought back for a public
showing at a later date.
