Remembering that there were a couple of dollars in another branch of the united btateg iva- tional, we made a trip to the Medford branch, and Barbara Crawford took over our prob lem.

Got acquainted with Wayne Retty. This Medford boy sailed the seas for Uncle Samuel during World Wide Argument II in his navy, most of the tour of duty having been in the south Pa cific. Wayne came home, mar ried and now drives, Fluhrer's bakery truck. He stops here each morning on his way to Eagle Point, Prescott and other points to the north of Medford.

Jack is running the pear or chard that has been in the fam ily for several generations. We took a ride through the valley. Jacksonville was the place that was a "must" on the tour and there we spent most of our time. Jack's mother, Mrs. G. C. Gar rett, who is now 80 years of age, makes her home in Medford. However, in Jacksonville we saw the house where she was born and the church where she was married.
