ruth fairchild's foot

Ruth Fairchild's foot is coming along after the bowling ball incident. Not the best way to quit bowling, but at least it was close to the end of the season.

Monday found Bill Sumpter enjoying the challenge of mechanic work. He fixed the clutch on Jerry Patterson's spray coup. I was busy with shirt making when the phone rang in the late afternoon. It was Major Lee Vaughan requesting a flight release to practice some proficiency flying. It seemed like a great opportunity for me to get in a little flight time. So with a release from Lee, I headed to the airport and pushed the plane out (thanks to Gary Stephenson and George Ainslie for plane toter that gives me that ability) I took to the air. It was a beautiful day to practice touch and goes at the Philip Airport and frighten the golfers off the course here at Kadoka with a few practice landings.

George Gittings made a trip to Midland after working at the sale barn on Tuesday.
