Message Subject: Relatives of Ethel Anderson Hole

I work in an antique store in Fremont, NE and the owner recently purchased at a sale an autobiography book that once belonged to Ethel Anderson Hole from the Sac City area. It contains much family history and pictures. If anyone knows of any relatives who might be interested in it please contact me. Since I too do geneology, it bothers me to see it gone from this family. Nancy

Message Subject: Can't Wait!!!

All I have to say is I cant wait to move back to my small town of Sac City. I have 7 1/2 weeks left of Culinary school and then I will be packing my bags and hitting the road. I've had a couple of people mention to me that opening a pastry shop right in the heart of downtown would be a wonderful idea. Maybe I will someday. Just wondering if anyone else would think this idea is worth it??

I would like to get in touch with Rita Felicio. We were in the same high school class and lived in the same neighborhood. I just wonder if she remembers me. It was great seeing her at one of the class reunions years ago. This year will be our 30th! I hope she can come back again. It would be fun to talk old days and catch up on the new.

So nice to read whats going on in Sac from time to time on here. Nice to see that DaLe Monograming that my mom and I started in 1962 is still in business. I am remarried after my first wife died and retired here in the Philippines in July of 2005. I keep busy writing my autobiography "One Toe in Heaven" and living here in Cebu is much slower than in the US.

Message Subject: Hall of Fame

Dear Chamber,
I was wondering if you ever considered starting a Hall of Fame for all the great athletes that went through Sac City over the years. How about the State Basketball Team of 1962 and the one Gene Lange and Jimmy Joe Johnson played on. How about the players who won two cosecutive Mid-west Conference titles in 1961 and 1962. [Basketball] How about the players who won a State Midget Baseball Title as well? And how about the athletes who played before these athletes like Chuck Jons and Dub Litle ad Russ Hass andChuck Jenkins to mention a few. John Brown and I have some articles we would like to put in the Historical Building. Would you accept these? Thank- you for your time and I hope I hear back from you. Bill Arndt.

While I was scrolling through the guest book, I noticed a post from Jason Hilkelbaumer 3 years ago looking for the Sac City gang. I tried to email him but got a delivery failure notification. If anyone has Jason's email address, please email it to me.
I am living in Hawaii now and have been for 2 1/2 years. My husband and I work for a general contractor. We were home in October and it was great. It's nice to know that when you haven't been home for a couple of years you still have friends that haven't forgotten you and are there when you need some help. (Even if it is carrying drywall and hanging insulation in your Mom's house!) Thanks to everyone...Crystal Huster (Uren) most of all, that girl knows how to knock down some plaster and lathe! Dallas Pullen (Huster) she fed us and dropped me off of a ladder from the top of Mom's garage. Josh Burns and Martin Anderson for going above and beyond the call of duty of roofing...you guys are awesome. If you ever need great affordable help, call those guys! Nicci Timmerman (Lake) didn't help much, but she kept us in stock of beverages! I could go on, but you know who you are. We appreciated everything from the help to the borrowed tools! Gotta love thy neighbor! Take care. Mele Kalikimaka e Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Hawaiian style!)

I am searching for any information on decendants of Beulah Bennett. Was she the mother of Mrs Frank Loring? Was Mrs. Frank Loring's name also Beulah? I am looking for any living decendants of this family. My grandmother lived with the Frank Loring family during her high school years. She was their "house girl". My grandmother graduated from Sac City High School in 1910. Any information anyone could give me on the above would be greatly appreciated. Also, there is an award for excellence in English that is awarded at Grinnell College in Iowa called the "Beulah Bennett-Loring" award. Any connection to the family I am looking for? Thank you.

I'm looking for my Dad (Loren "Rusty" Little) and Grandmother (Katherine Leonard.) My Dad stopped emailing me about a year ago and seems to have just dropped off the grid. I can't find his name/addy/phone anywhere. The last time I heard from him, he said that my Grandmother wasn't doing well. I know he's been very active in the LDS church there, and was talking about going on a mission.

Can anyone help me find my loved ones? I'd very much appreciate it!

Hi Everybody! I just wanted to say that college is going great but I miss my little itty-bitty hometown of Sac City, IA. I miss personally knowing my teachers and classmates and being able to recognize everybody I walk by. Don't get me wrong, Iowa City has been great! But it is just so different than what I grew accustomed to. I am almost done with my freshman year at the University of Iowa, I work at the University Hospitals in the Pediatric ICU, and I am engaged!!!! Lucas Johnson proposed on February 15th, our 4 1/2 year anniversary. We will be moving in to an apartment in Cedar Rapids together this coming August- so we can split the cost.
That's all for now. If anybody wants to contact me please feel free! I love to hear from anyone who ties me back to Sac because it gets a little lonely here in Iowa City- not knowing the names of the hundreds of people I walk by each day. Also, send me contact information so that when wedding invitations go out in the next year or so- that will be easy for me.
God Bless you all!
