luanne goodwin proms
my newest input is that Joan Osterman of minonk who actually went to the prom with Lewis Osterman may have information or Bob Mcnamara (Booba) took lu's sister to the senior prom and may know something.
if either of you know something please call 815-397-9771 - i am still looking for a prom picture for a photo board for her celebration of life.

Lucille's junior and senior proms 1963 1964
Rumor has it that Lewis Osterman was dating Lucille Goodwin senior year but dumped her at the last minute and Terry Borden (a friend) took her to the senior prom.
Can anyone verify this rumor?
Also, does anyone know about the junior year prom. Did Lucille go and with who?
If anyone has the answers, you can e-mail me directly dave@dljenkinsarchitects.com
if anyone knows how to get in touch with Terry Borden, let me know.

Fall Town Wide Garage Sale
Everyone:
Wanted to let everyone know that I'm planning on still having a FALL Town Wide Garage Sale. It will be a month later in the hopes that our country and community will be back to normal, or at least a safe normal.
I have it scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2020 and it will still be from 8 am to 2 pm with your ability to add more time and/or days if you should like to.
Obviously more to come much closer to that time frame but I wanted to let everyone know. Please go ahead and be thinking of what you may want to put on that sale.
I am hoping that 2021 will be more in line with the Town Wide Garage Sales we have had in the past.
Thanks

Luanne's obit
Lucille Anne Goodwin Jenkins class of MDR 1964 died at age 73 due to a psuedomonas infection she received during prosthetic hip replacement surgery on 04-02-2020 at 12:22 pm.
For those of you who knew her, she lived up to her potential. In 1998 she was awarded the honor of School Social Worker of the year for the entire state of Illinois. Then retired and became a licensed divorce mediator. she also found time to become a saphire bridge life master AND RAISE TWO SONS AND ONE HUSBAND.
She is survived by her two sons and her husband of 53 1/2 years, David Lee Jenkins
She remained beautiful, smart, fun, happy and quirky. Her smile lit up a room and she could not pass up a chance to help someone in need.
I would like to know about her senior prom. I am putting together a photo board for her celebration of like sometime in the future. I cannot find any photos of her junior or senior proms. I also cannot find out who she went with.
From her year books I gather that the following people were her friends and may know something: Barb Craig, Carolyn Sue Tuley, Wanda Gerdes, Judy Barrett, Jo Ann Barth, Janet Hartzler or Donna Schlueter

Closing Streets for Restaurants
Admin, delete if you wish! Indianapolis is closing streets to allow restaurants to have more outdoor seating! This would be a great solution for a lot of Mom & Pop places in small towns. The traffic has diminished anyway and we could enjoy a little time outdoors, no cooking, and some freedom! Just my thoughts.

Mine Trail
If the city is trapping to kill, they could at least have the courtesy to flag or mark the traps. A nice bright orange or pink marker would be nice. The beavers or pest wouldn't know what that flag would mean. Because those faded ripped up signs are not much good.
