You Know You're From Charleston Illinois When....

Not Many Photographs from 'Back in the Day'

Most of us did not have a camera, many of us did not make it to sessions scheduled for the Warbler yearbook, so photographs of our undergrad college years are rare. Recently Deb Mizener Beckrich sent me this one below. I believe that her dad, Larry Mizener, took it in 1967 inside the Short Stop. Neither Deb or I can remember the name of the girl standing beside me; she worked at the Short Stop. I may be way off, but I think that she was a relative (Younger sister perhaps) of Charleston lawyer, Woody Kramer, originally from Villa Grove? Deb thinks her first name might be Pamela or Sue?

Anyone else have a photo that they could share?

I have no idea of what I had going on with that apron fold . . .

Update from Carl and Judy Nosbisch

After spending most of Sept in 3 different hospitals, I am home. Over the past years I have had surgery on my right hip 5 times. This time I fell on some wet grass and broke my right femur in two places right above the knee (same leg as my hip replacement), and also broke my ankle in 2 places.

First I was in Delnor Hospital....transported to Northwestern Hospital in Chicago where surgery was done.....10 1/2 hours. After a week then I was transported to Marion Joy Hospital in Wheaton for another 2 weeks and 3 days for rehab. Recovery is going to be a long road for the next few months.

First pic was in Delnor getting ready to move me to Chicago. Second pic is with a cast. Third pic is with my wonderful boot.....try sleeping with that on.....it has to be on all the time. I do get to take it off when I shower.

Hopes for Carl's continued recovery and getting back on his feet as soon as possible.
