to the greatest nation in the
world. Whether right or wrong
it is up to each and everyone of
us to support our country. This
is the two hundred and third
year of our Declaration of
Independence As our great
President Kennedy said: “Let
us complete what we have
started, for as the Scriptures
tell us, no man who puts his
hand to the plow and turns
back is fit for the Kingdom of
God."
Happy Birthday to Alfred
Lozano and (a bit late) to Ryan
Edward Adams and James
Dale Watson.
A kind person left some fresh
vegetables at the Brueggers
and we did appreciate the flat
green string beans, the squash
and potatoes. Thanks whom-
ever you are.
Mr. and Mrs. B.J. Prikryl had
word from their daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Eddie Prikryl,
that she enjoyed her stay in
Florida.
Mrs. M.A. Bruegger (or
Grandma Bruegger as some
call her) had a number of
visitors. Mrs. Frank Piksa
came by for a pleasant visit.
Mr. Piksa is better after a stay
in the hospital. Mrs. John
Novak came with a big bag of
squash from her garden. Mrs.
Frank Vasek came with very
good cake and fresh eggs. Mrs.
Albert Rejcek also brought
fresh eggs (the hens are
laying) and a huge piece of
cake and Terri paid a visit with
more cake and kolaches. Mrs.
B.J. Prikryl has been bringing
lots of yellow plums and the
Wesley Kocians brought big
red plums. Mrs. Geltmeier’s
luscious tomatoes are ripening
and Kim came with oranges.
Thank you nice people.
Mr. Frank Roskydal is up
and around and looking much
better. There was a nice
write-up about him and his
blacksmith shop by Larry
Knapek in The West News. We
need more Frank Roskydals
who know the meaning of work.

Good luck!
Mrs. Joe Horak was in
Penelope on Sunday, June 24 to
see her sister-in-law, Mrs.
M.A. Bruegger. She came with
her daughter, Mrs. Mary Fryer
of Mart. Mrs. Fryer lives just
a few blocks from the Rest
Home where her mother is
staying. Mrs. Horak reads
The Hubbard City News and
knew about the tornado scare
on May 10. Mart also had a
tornado scare and in the heavy
down pour that followed a
creek, by the Rest Home, rose
out of its banks. Residents
were hurried into hallways as
the water continued to rise and
even entered some rooms of
the home. Her daughter added
that her home is on a slight rise
and for the first time water
was standing in her yard
Mrs. Horad looks well and
handles her walker like an
expert She tried to do her niece
a favor by encouraging her
sister-in-law to depend more on
her walker. Mrs. Bruegger
thinks she has two legs and she
should be able to depend on
them, but her age is against
her. They enjoyed the after-
noon.
Mr. Joe Horak is in Veteran’s
Hospital in Waco with a back
injury.
It was sad to hear
of the death of Mrs. C.V.
(Bessie Jo) Johnson early
Sunday morning, June 24.
Sunday announcements were
made in church. Mrs. Johnson
was a true lady, a good friend,
a very good teacher and a loyal
supporter of Penelope. She
came here as a young graduate
to teach music and stayed 61
years. It was a far cry from
what she had been accustomed
to as the daughter of a
Methodist minister and stu-
dent of one of the best music
teachers in a big city. She met
the son of a Penelope ginner
and within a year they were
married. She never regretted
