REMEMBERING THAT CRANKY MALT MACHINE

     Back to the mail......
     The Kornerman wrote last edition about Lon Crosby's query regarding the old Boyd's Dairy malt machine. I didn't really have any answers and forwarded to him contacts who should be able to help...........Linda Boyd Bravard, BHS-61, or LaVerne Anderson, BHS-54.
     He contacted Linda and Linda said she would provide him some info.
     Here's what Linda wrote to me, "the manufacturer of the noisy black malt machine is Andis Products Corporation of Racine, WI. The machine is called the Andis Speed-Whip Drink Mixer. I believe they stopped making them in 1953, which is why we had such a hard time keeping them in running condition. Al Mestaugh was employed by dad just to repair our malt machines when they kept acting up. If you're lucky, occasionally, one might be found for sale on ebay or other such sites. There is one in Boone that I know was purchased for $1,500 online."

     Jerry Manriquez, BSH-57, wrote, "I've added a few things to my website. I've added a book by Raymond Lamb about his WWII memories. I also just added some short stories he wrote about growing up in Boone in the 30's and 40's. I added them to the Link tab on the website. Roxanna Rose Aplanalp sent me an updated address list for BHS-57 which I also added. Then too, I read in the Korner that you have some following from United Community grads. When I was looking over boxes of data from Gretchen Otis, I came across a history of the United Community schools and alumni lists going back to 1918 which includes the Jordan, Luther and Napier grads. I've added all this to the website as well."
     That website is.......http://boonesacheart/manriquez.net.
     P.S. Jerry said he and wife, Joanna Lacey Manriquez, BSH-56, will be coming "home" in early August for a Lacey/Hartman reunion. And, he promised he and I, the Kornerman, will get together while he's here for a visit.

     Speaking of Gretchen Caldwell Otis, BHS-52, she called to tell me of another class reunion. The class of 1983 will be having their 35th celebration September 28-29.
