I do too Larry. I was 7 years old when my mother took me. It made such an impression on me, one of my early memories which has remained. Hopefullly someone will tell us. Also, another good memory around the same time is the 1948 centennial. I wish I knew what date that was also. My mother and father and two more couples rode around in a 3 seat buggy in vintage clothes. The men had all grown beards. What fun! Jan PS Larry, did you go to Hbg. High? I graduated in 1958. ----- Original Message ----- From: "LARRY HIBBS" <larry0774@msn.com> To: <ILSALINE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 8:50 AM Subject: Re: [ILSALINE-L] Harry Truman visit > Hi Jan, I was there and remember it well.

I remember the centennial also. Yes went to HHS left in 1958 didn't graduate Ms Shestak flunked me in history. My fault not hers. Graduated later on and went to college in the Army.
