Parents of the Week
We recently received the
following letter from Jenni-
fer Russell of Maytown,
nominating her parents for
Parents of the Week.
Dear Mrs. Bromer,
We would like to nom-
inate our parents for parents
of the week. Because they
are wonderful parents.
There are five girls in our
family and so they are busy
taking us to lessons, swim
team. And they devote most
all of there time to us.
In the summertime they
take us to swim team
practice and go to all of the
swim meets. Then my father
would take us to Ridgeview
in Elizabethtown to buy us
Sundeas.
Every Christmas we get a
real Christmas tree. And
decorate it on the week-end
before Christmas.
Usually everyday our
mother is working on
something on the sewing
machine. And making us all
sorts of things.
Our parents are the best
parents in the world!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Russell
We went to see the
Russells and see if they
were the best parents in the
world. According to their
five daughters it seems that
way.
Charlie and Jane Russell
have lived in Maytown for
eleven years. Before that
they spent some time in
Washington and Lancaster.
Jane hails from Rhode
Island and Charlie from
Columbia.
Jane remarks that ‘‘we
have had a child in each of
the houses we have lived in.
We better not move again!”
she laughs.
‘“We really like the town
of Maytown,”’’ says Charlie.
“I like the idea the younger
girls can walk to school
instead of riding the bus for
any distance.”
Jennifer, age 10, and her
sister Jill, 8, both go to
Maytown Elementary. Beth,
13, attends Bealm Junior
High, and Sarah, 14, and
Sue, 16, go to Donegal High
School.
‘“The girls have all spent
their entire school career in
Donegal, except Sue, who
started Kindergarten in
Washington.”
The Russell girls are very
active, and Mrs. Russell
says it keeps her busy just
keeping the girl’s appoint-
ments. ‘‘I just do not know
how one-parent families do
it,”’ she exclaims. ‘‘I could
never get the girls to where
they are going without the
help of my husband.

‘“Also, Charlie has the
ability to look at things from
a broad point of view. Not
me. I get so involved in the
day-to-day activities that I
lose sight of the broad view.
It is important to have the
in-put of two parents. I
really admire anyone who
can do it alone.”
Mr. Russell is employed
with the Higher Education
Assistance Program located
Behind the family is a piece of
FIFTEEN CENTS
-
needlepoint done by
in Harrisburg, and he is able
to advise the girls on career
planning. ‘‘Many students
come out of high school not
knowing just what is
available to them,’’ he says.
“Itry to show my daughters
the options that they do
have without forcing any-
thing on them. It is their
life, and they must make the
final decision.”
