Marcy Gail also has a sister and
brother.
On Aug. 23, Earl Good, revising
clerk in the freight house, was married
to Carol Lynn Elledge of Paris,
Ill. The double ring ceremony was performed
in St. Joseph Catholic Church
of Universal, Ind.
On Sept. 5, Doug Stevenson, yard
clerk at Bedford, Ind., exchanged nuptial
vows with Jenny Crane. She was a
classmate of Doug's when he attended
Shakamak High School. Their honeymoon
was cut short by Doug's induction
into the Army.
The Armed Forces also claimed
Mike Bedwell, yard clerk at Latta. He
began his tour of duty in October.
Vacation days are happy days, so
say Ray ViTilliams, car distributor, Norman
Mosier, engineer, C. 1. Stout, yard
conductor, and Fred Cash, yard conductor.
The four took a fishing trip to
Minnesota. While they haven't boasted
of their boat collapsing with fish, all
enjoyed the trip, especially Mosier's
cooking.
It is with adverse feeling that I
must report an accident that happened
to one of our retired conductors, L.S.
Hunter. While putting up storm windows,
he dropped one on his big toe.
Although you cannot claim it as a lost
time accident, it was serious enough to
cancel a golf date.
We extend our sympathies to the
famil1es of Cecil Deal and Richard
(Dick) Baumgartner, who passed
away in October. The Retired Railroadmen's
Association conducted memorial
services for Cecil prior to burial
in Highland Lawn Cemetery.
Dick Baumgartner, who was only 40
years old, died in Robert Long Hospital
in Indianapolis. He is survived by
his widow and five children. He was
conductor and yardmaster in Latta
yards.

R. D. True, Correspondent
Office of Superintendent
C. W. Reichardt, retired F&B carpenter
now living at Canton, S.D., advises
that Retired PFI Don C. Bolton,
who formerly worked at Mason City,
la., underwent surgery on Oct. 10,
having his right leg amputated above
the knee. Don is getting along fine, but
am sure he would appreciate hearing
from his railroad acquaintances. He
now lives in Savanna, Ill.
There are two new stenos in the division
headquarters at Austin, Lois
Cummings and Mrs. Barbara Baker.
Lois is steno for the roadmasters and
the signal supervisor, and Barbara
works for Chief Clerk Babe Swank.
Babe recently had both his sons
home together for the first time in
about nine years when his oldest,
Dick, a master sergeant in the Marine
Corps, returned from duty in Vietnam,
and his youngest, Fred, was on leave
from the Army at St. Louis. Both have
now returned to their posts of duty.
