A IHg Bouquet Of RosesBy Ruth Haedtler
11 his paragraph is a written "Bouquet of Roses" to anexceptional group of gals who made the Home-Built
and Antique Registration Booth a great success this year.The first bouquet must go to Toni Harwood, of Rockford,111. Toni put in long and hard hours registering and list-ing aircraft. From her home, she supplied us with manysmall but essential items to make the registration tentrun more smoothly. Thank you very much, Toni. Secondbouquet goes to Marilyn Auth, from Bloomington, El.Marilyn spent the entire time of her first trip to a Fly-inworking in the booth. Seeing this is a woman's column,let's also thank Marilyn for the use of her husband, Phil.He did a great job of the leg work for us gals. Hope wedidn't overwork Marilyn, 'cause we want her back nextyear. Speaking of men, I would like to sincerely thankBob "Rembrandt" BIyholder and the St. Rita's boys. Theyare Whitey Phillips, Gene Phillips, Norb Byceck, FrankFornak. Third bouquet is presented to Agnes Kirk, ofRockford. She spent long hot hours registering aircraftand listing same on the "Who's Here" board. More bou-quets to Dorothy Smith of Fullerton, Calif. She helped usset up the tables in the tent and generally prepare toopen shop. Dorothy also registered planes. MRS. MICKEYEAVES, "Alias Scharlotte", Oklahoma City, helped witha lot of the details that kept things from going amuck.Now I would like to add a special thanks to Lynn
Lynn Haedtler, standing, Marcia Lyons, left, and RuthHaedtler were again on duty at the aircraft registra-tion tent.
Haedtler and Laurie Haedtler who worked right alongwith all of us. They were terrific and "they are mydaughters". There might be a wee bit of prejudice herebut they did work hard.
I am sure that the people who registered their air-craft will agree with me that all these gals made the "In-terrogation period" at our tent a pleasant sociable event.I, personally, would like to make these bouquets materialrather than spiritual, but when all the excess moneygoes for airplane "Goodies" what are you going to do?
