GRANDSON OF LOCAL RESIDENT WINS FREE TRIP TO WORLD SERIES

George Rasmussen and son Greg of Omaha, Neb., have returned home from New York City where they attended the first two games of the World Series.

Greg won two round-trip tickets by plane to the opening game of the Series in a contest conducted in Omaha. He correctly guessed the game and inning in which Roger Maris would hit his first home run.

Greg is the grandson of I.S. Rasmussen of Grinnell.
