Frank was a railroad en- gineer on a train that ran from the United States to Mexico. Frank married Ursula Villa, sister of the infamous Francisco “Pancho” Villa, one of the leaders of the Mexican revolution.

Training will cover Haz-Mat Awareness. Those who still have books or videos from the Selden Public Li- brary, please get them back as soon as possible as the library van will be Good Samaritan News Shortly after moving to Oberlin, when my youngest daughter was about five years old, we were visit- ing my mother in Colorado and watched the musical “Meet Me in St. Louis.” At this point we had never expe- rienced a county fair up close and personal, but fell in love with the movie because of the anticipation and excitement it generated in preparation for the real thing. Now we have seven county fairs under our belts, and my daughter, now 12, just told me last night how excited she was for fair to start. She said it was the best thing in Oberlin! I had to chuckle because all week here at Good Sam we have been pre- paring for the fair. I can see the same glint of excitement in the eyes of the residents. How many fairs have they seen in their day? You would think they’d be too old for such an affair. Nope ... just the contrary. When I asked who wanted to go, hands went up all over the place. And when I asked who wanted to ride the train, even more hands went up. But what tickled me was the conversa- tion and laughter that erupted throughout the room. I think some- times we forget how much life is still embodied in these frail frames. That is the joy of working here; you get reminded every day! So stop by the open class when you go to the fair, to see what we’ve been up to. We have watercolors, woodworking, harvest mosaics, button art and even some items from the garden. You think your kids are excited to get their ribbons … so are the ‘kids at heart’! See you at the fair! Recent guests: Mae Guy - Annette and Alena Hanschild of 29 Palms, Calif., Deanna Hanschild, John and Patty Guy of Sidney, Neb., Norma Richards, Jody Betts; Eva Bryan - Donna Kelley, Detta Anderson; Thelma Spiers - Don and Joan Grafel, Todd Nelson of Herndon, Violet Shaw, Susan Nelson, Jody Betts; Doris Marintzer - Bud and Vicky Mumm, Gem; Lucy Schissler - Rev.

The residents of Cedar Living Center have been busy getting ready for the fair. We are finishing up our crafts that will be on display in the Open Class Building from Tuesday through Friday. We have opted to show our crafts, but we will not have them judged for ribbons or premium money. We have plans to have residents at the fair on Wednesday evening. The dining room was decorated all week with a beautiful bouquet of flowers donated from the Stapp wedding. A big group met on Monday af- ternoon for penny cards. They in- cluded Elsie Goodnight, Lyle Gamblin, Betty Harden, Paul Sass, Kayo Sattler, Lowell Sebaugh, Don Shaw, Mildred Tacha, Frank and Velda Ward, Loyl Wilson, and Hank and Bea Wolfram.
