Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser My morning glories have just begun to bloom and now the mornings are so very cool. So, I fear that there will only be a few more big blue blossoms to enjoy. I feel as though we had a short summer and fall has come too soon. My 65th high school reunion was last week and about 30 class mates came to enjoy each other’s company. Half of our class are no longer living and some are in nursing homes. Some of us are quite active and the committee that planned the event gave ev eryone a list of addresses and phone numbers to contact each other. My husband and I were able to attend one of the many commu nity fairs in our county. The at traction for us was the pigs that our grandsons were showing. They were pleased to have some m w LOST STREAM MAP The STREAM MAP OF PENNSYLVANIA was completed in 1965 after a thirty-year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor The map is known as the LOST STREAM MAP to some anglers Professor Higbee succeeded in creating a map of the highest detail possible, a map that shows every stream and lake. He painstakingly plotted by hand the location of 45,000 miles of streams onto a 3 by 5 foot map. The map sold extremely well -until it was lost several years later Incredibly, the printer entrusted with the original drawing and printing plates declared bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbee’s 30 years of work to a landfill The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fisherman’s possession Professor Higbee was offered $4OO for one of his last maps. And state agencies were forced to keep their copies under lock and key Experts told Professor Higbee that reprints were impossible, because the maps were printed in non-photographic blue Then, in 1991, at the age of 91, Howard Higbee’s dream came true Computers made if possible to reprint the map Howard said, “I never thought I'd live to see this day” of the champion pigs again and they received trophies. It certain ly is different than showing heif ers as our children did in 4-H shows. You do not lead the pigs, they simply run everywhere. It can be almost a full-time job simply keeping our children in formed as to what their siblings are doing. It does make the job easier by using the telephone in stead of just writing a letter. One is having her house painted, one just got a new boat, and one had a lightning strike near his home that ruined his appliances. One is publishing a community newpap er, another got a new job, and our youngest daughter often phones us from distant cities where she goes on business. All of that activity is in my past and I shall try to be satisfied with what I have now.
