WITH THE "HELP"of their four children, Debbie, 14; Michele, II;
Kimberley, ten, and Murrie, eight, S/Sgt Bill and Jema Hartman of Othello
Radar Station are busy getting Christmas cards ready for mailing. Here a bit
over two years, the Hartmans are painfully aware that this will be their last
Christmas in Othello. Where they will be sending cards from next year they
aren't sure. The family has been active in commtm/ty affairs and are members
of Pilgrim Lutheran Church. Bill is a member of Othello Community Float
committe and sings with his church choir. Jean, member of Othello
Newcomers Club, is a volunteer at Othello Convalescent Center and an
assistant Sunday School teacher. They wrote, "Both of us have fond memories
of Othello! Our children were baptized here. Their godparents live here. Good
memories of many happy days spend preparing both the 1973 and 74 floats and
of the good people who helped ..... " For the family it's a nostalgic time of
memories, promises and dreams.
A Lasting Christmas by GarnettAnnSehullz
There's a beauty when it's Christmas
All the world is different then,
There's no place ]or petty hatred
In the hearts and minds o/ men.
That is why my heart is happy
And my mind can hold a dream,
For I keep a part o! Christmas
With its peace and )oy supreme.
I keep a part o~ Christmas
For it helps to add a glow,
To the January darkness
And the February snow.
I/ March• is cold and blustery
And though April brings us rain,
The peace and warmth of Christmas
With its happiness, remain...
