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

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.
