East Bethel

It sure has been a busy week with lots of leaf peepers everywhere.

Butch and Ann Crockett just came back from Pennsylvania. They had been in Grundy ,Va.,from where they went on to Nashville,Tenn. Then they went to St. James, Mo., to visit Ann's son, Rick, and to celebrate his birthday with him. Sunday afternoon they celebrated Suzi's birthday. Happy belated birthday to both Rick and Suzi.

Alex Crockett made it safely to Fort Benning, Ga. Cherri asks to, please, keep him in your prayers as he begins Basic Training for the Army this week. I am sure his Mom is watching over him from above.

The Alder River Grange will hold a meeting on Oct. 12 at the Hall.The supper will start at 6 p.m. followed by the meeting at 7 p.m.

Now on to the answer for the Trivia. The Gould Academy Alumni Association began in 1900. There were gatherings at the Academy and in Odeon Hall. The banquet was held in a tent on the Common. Six tables 125 feet long were used and 800 people were fed. The Academy Fund was pledged $5,642.

Have a great week.
