SOME MAIL

     The Kornerman had heard from Bob Atherton, BHS-65, some weeks back talking about his mother, Betty Anderson Atherton, BHS-40, a resident of the Eastern Star Home who missed hearing from some old friends.
     Bob wrote, "mission accomplished. Tim Croxen, BHS-59, stopped by to see Betty last week. She was thrilled. Tom Peterson, BHS-67, also stopped by and that was a pleasant surprise for her. Wife Bonnie and I were in Boone last week for a short visit and it was good to see mom and my aunt, Marge Harvey, BHS-50."
     He added, "it was good to see Boone but what is it with the gnats and bugs......unbelieveable? Talked to Charley Lind, BHS-65, recently. He's retired in Mexico, MO. He had visited with Bruce Geerdes, BHS-65, who is battling some tough health issues at the Veterans Home in Marshalltown. I am back to work in Colorado now. I greatly appreciate your column as it helps us stay connected to Boone when we are far away."
