Top Left: Joseph and Christine in 2022 at their January birthday celebration Restaurant Dinner Joseph's birthday is the day after hers, on the 21st. We usually celebrated from gift cards for the restaurant provided by Andreas and Teresa Meyer or other close TBC friends!

Middle Left: In room 2214 on Saturday, October 14, at UConn Health Hospital, having already had a number of visitors, here is Kathryn and Jayne Burchard (far left and close left) and Mrs. Cora Sciarra (right) as they visit Chris. We were awaiting the scheduling of her surgery in the intermediate floor before Wednesday October 18, the day they could unite 2 senior Neurosurgeons for her surgery. Her smile was typical all throughout the relaxed presurgery days. Those days would have been much different had we known the surgery outcome, albeit God Himself encouraged us-driving out worries with His supernatural presence!

Bottom Left: About 1958, This is one of the few pictures of Chris with Cecil, her father, beside her with "Vicki" the youngest of her two sisters. Since Cecil passed away about 1986 of Cancer, yours truly never met or knew him personally.

 

Center Newsprint Text: THREE SENIORS TO BE GIVEN STATE HOMEMAKER DEGREE.
Three Attica senior (High School) girls, pictured here, Shirley Cook, Barbara Scherley, and Christine Wise, will be awarded the State Homemaker Degree. This is the highest degree obtainable in the Future Homemakers of America organization. They were interviewed by FHA advisers Wednesday, March 1, at Lakota High School and will receive their degrees at the Ohio FHA convention in Columbus on April 7.
To receive the degree, the FHA member must obtain a 2.5 accumulative average in school with no lower than a B average in home economics. To be considered for the degree, the candidate is to complete a booklet containing her past Junior and Chapter Homemaker degrees and her evaluation of the activities used for the degree. The member must show activities in which she gained a better understanding of FHA on a state level and must prove leadership and growth in two to four activities in each of the following areas:
1. Individual; 2. School; 3. Community; 4. Home; 5. FHA Chapter; 6. Explaining FHA to Others All activities used for the degree are followed by a written recommendation by the person in charge of that activity. The booklet is concluded by a listing of how the candidate fulfilled the eight purposes of the National FHA organization through her degree work.
Shirley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donal Cook; Barbara, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Urban Scherley; and Christine, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Wise.
