Sunday we had the Slagell reunion, which included a short memorial service for Aunt Thelma, Mom's oldest sister. I learned a lot about her. She owned a hair salon in Chicago, a Purina Chow business in Gridley, the Ives Realty business in Blm, built the Campus Motel in Normal, the Holiday Inn in Blm, the Illinois House in downtown Blm, all before she settled down on her dream ranch in Arizona. She was a woman of independence way ahead of her time.
We have heard that Mom's commercial started running today, although I haven't seen it yet. WEEK-25 for the local folks.

I kinda remember your Aunt Thelma being a big-shot in Bloomington. I always thought she was so pretty.
