people of La Salle County who
exercised their democratic right
and participated in the recent
School Board Election.
Wayne wears white coveralls be-
cause white reflects the heat. He
will work twenty-eight days and
come home for twenty-eight days.
He said the fire-fighters are handi-
capped over there because they
can’t bring in all the equipment
they need. He didn’t know why.
We, the family of Monico Ro-
man, need your help. Our Dad
suffers with Alzheimers Disease
and wanders away from his house.
Although it appears he knows
where he is going he does not
know where he is going. Please
call 879-3668 or 879-3747 so we
can pick him up. Ifyou can please
take him home to 603 S. Kerr we
would appreciate it very much.

He holds a great story behind the
lines on his face
Time leaves a mark he cannot
erase
He sits and stares at memories he
holds
Just what they are remains to
be told
Once in a while he'll show a slight
grin
He is humored by thoughts he
keeps deep within
He w ill speak of how things were
way back when
Not seeing he lives just as he
