Comments from Sally
Hi Wally,
Just read through (Or should I say cried through) the 'Hiawatha Blogger'. Just no words to tell you how appreciated your preserving of Hiawatha memories is to me and to anyone, I'm sure, who ever lived in our beloved little coal town. Thank you, thank you for all of your hard work. I have a photo of the "tipple crew", taken probably in the 50's. Anyway------ you, my dad, your dad, Mike O., Glenn D and many others are in the photo. I will bring it to the reunion. It is wonderful---you all have coal dust on your faces. I love it. Thanks again, Wally.

There were eleven of us there today. Dean Petrulas, Mike Manosakis, Don Reaveley, Wally Baldwin, Archie McCarrie, Tom Neilson, Glen Davis, Jay Wilson, Mike Orphanakis, Tucker Lowe and Paul Mecham. ----
If anyone has a picture of the old "swimming hole" up North Fork or one of the several "Tarzan Swings" in Hiawatha I sure would like to have a copy of it.
