Nov MEETING

11 Nov 2002 – 7 p.m.

Mares Meeting Room- 1722 E 19

Fremont NE

PROGRAM:
Our traditional SHOW & TELL. A bit late, but always interesting. All members participate.

BROWSE Nite:   25 Nov 2002  7 p.m.

Our October meeting was given by Jeff Kappeler and as usual a very good one.  He had many items from the household of the tailor, including his boots that he wore when coming from Sweden.  Also showing up were his billfold from the old country, his naturalization papers, a comforter made of pieces of wool suiting.   And the list goes on.  After paying for all of the estate treasures, poor Jeff’s billfold was empty. Jeff does work for an Estate Auction company out of Omaha.   Thanks Jeff for another enjoyable program.

Time for a correction!               The Omaha City Directory that was donated by the Jacoby’s was not a 1943 issue, but a 1993.  Nothing like being 50 years off, Claire.
