Awkward Family Reunions, Do You Think?

Another thing I've found out scanning the 1927 newspapers is that, while John Chester was selling booze out of his lunch stand, two of his sisters, Carrie Raschka and Lovisa Nelson, were very active in the Hobart chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. For example, the Hobart News of August 18, 1927, reported that Carrie and Lovisa had gone to Winona Lake for a week, part of which would be spent participating in the W.C.T.U. assembly. An earlier story (that I didn't bother to record the date of) said that Carrie Raschka was the Treasurer of the local W.C.T.U. chapter.

I imagine certain topics of conversation were carefully avoided when the Chester siblings got together.

On a recent outing to Deep River County Park, I found Frosty the Snowman having difficulties — either he's about to puke, or he dropped his contact lens.

Nah — probably he's just dizzy. I think his head is buzzing.
