WILMA WILLIAMS FUCHS SCRAPBOOK
This is a scrapbook that I started in my teen years in Glenwood.
I offer it to the Glenwood library as a gift, in the hope that
visitors there will find interest in its contents. The scrapbook
concerns Glenwood people and events during the WWII era plus a few
years in each direction. I grew up in Glenwood and moved to California
in 1942 My favorite newspaper was the Glenwood Opinion Tribune,
even after my move. My uncle, Les Hoobler, worked for the Opinion
Tribune for many years, when Hazel Chote and the brothers owned the
paper. I have vivid memories of "helping" my uncle set type. He would
ask me to inspect the type for print lice. In the process, I seemed
always to get water squirted in my face. I never learned. The name
I started out with was Wilma (Billie) Williams. Walt and Kate Williams
were my father and mother. My eldest sister was Lucille Martindale.
My other sister was Leona Gregg. All of these relatives are gone
now and I miss them. My present name is Wilma Fuchs. I am still
married to Frank, the sailor I met 53 years ago, in California. Anyone
who reads this letter or the scrapbook and wishes to exchange memories
of Glenwood in bygone days, may contact me at:
