Suzanne Randa found items about McCracken on E-Bay for the museum. They are a matchbook in yellow and black for the Farmers Union Co-Op M & E. Co. - Oil Company 2-9985 Gr. Co.2-2719. Petroleum Products, Grain and Feeds. Conoco Products: A post card with an embossed blooming rose and two buds that says' Best Wishes to Nina'. It was written on June 21, 1911 to Miss Nina Ryersee in Great Bend. The writer mentions that Alice and Babe are well with new teeth; a 1937 calendar put out by Barr Mercantile Co., McCracken, Kansas, Telephone 34 - We Deliver. There were also available two of our history books, Volume 11 and the Hampton book, so Suzanne graciously ordered them and gave them to the museum.

On Friday Kay Bisagno Bleakley and David Bisagno were here to bring vintage books that their mother Norma Elmore Bisagno had. The many boxes of boxes are interesting because they originally were in McCracken High School and then in McCracken Library with the stamps of each. Kay and David also bought all four of our history books and the Paper Moon books.

Another dinner this weekend is the annual Thanksgiving Dinner and raffle at St. Joseph's of Liebenthal on Sunday, November 13. We won't have to cook for the entire weekend.

Signe Barnes and Carolyn Thompson had supper at The Smokehouse in Hays on Monday evening. It is one of the newest restaurants in Hays. I have heard that the Pasta place in Hays is delicious also. I write this for Ellen. She will understand.
