Left Iowa and crossed the infamous Mississippi River!











Warm, cloudy weather introduced us to Illinois. We lunched at Starved Rock State Park. Howard and the boys fished in the Illinois River.
Then we drove over to see Dick and Rita Donelson in Woodridge, Illinois. Howard and he in Army fifteen years ago, and so was quite a reunion. We talked, ate dinner and then,



went over to Bill & Shirley Epsteins home (Tishler relatives).
All glad to see each other and slept first night in trailer in front of their house.
