What I did on my winter vacation

Having any fun this winter? Add some photos or tell us you have managed to be the cold and cabin fevor.

Something to Look forward to . . .

There has been talk about having another picnic this year. That is: Uncle Rich mentioned it to me and I am mentioning it here. It sounds good to me, but you can cast your vote on the blog. We don’t need a specific number in order to have one, but a good turnout would be great.

Wait till next year!

Richard Bernier
Is Wounded In Korea Action

Pfc. Richard H. Bernier, 22 son of Mr. And Mrs. Philippe J. Bernier of South LaSalle Street, was wounded in action in Korea on January 5.
The young man suffered shell fragment wounds in the right shoulder and a fracture of the right eardrum.
He wrote his mother that he is in the hospital in Japan. He described his shoulder wound as only a scratch and said he expects to regain hearing in the injured ear.
A graduate of De LaSalle High School, he was formerly employed by a grocery chain store. He went to Korea last June and was with the 11th Infantry division.
