My buddy wlll help mel Biography I was born on November 1, 1960, in Providence Hospital in Sandusky, Ohio. Mom wanted a boy very much, but instead she had a girl. I guess she's satisfied with me. I have lived on Kelleys all my life. In the summer, I work as a waitress at Franketti's Island House. Karen and I played together before we went to school. When we started to school, there were four pupils in the class. Now Karen and I have completed 12 years together. Without the help of my parents, I wouIdn't have had anything. My mom is the Postmaster on the Island. My father is the maintenance foreman for the electric company. I don't have any brothers or sisters. In some ways I'm lucky and in some ways I'm not. Without the help of Karen, I don't think I would have had as much fun. I enjoy playing sports, such as - baseball, basketball, volleyball and ice skating. I also have many hobbies, such as - crocheting, hooking rugs, and listening to albums and the radio. My biggest hobby is collecting old and souvenir spoons with my mom. I have enjoyed all my years in Kelleys Island School. I would like to thank my parents, teachers, and friends for their help and co-operation. My future plans are to find a job in Sandusky somewhere. 4 'Q E . , .,. . ..r.-,, 4 W. , , I 1 If .J 'T ' f I ' I 'X .:!'

' Prophecy The summer of 78 ended, and Pam and Karen left Kelleys island to find jobs on the mainland. Karen had applied for her job as a model and was employed. She was traveling to Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York City for her different assignments. Pam had left, and went traveling coast to coast before returning to Sandusky to be employed at the Sandusky Mall. Pam now has her own jewelry store in the mall, and lives in her house on the Cedar Point Causeway. Karen had returned home to Kelleys for a vacation and to visit her family. Pam was also home on vacation visiting her family. Pam and Karen met each other on a Saturday night while at the V.F.W. Pam suggested that they have dinner at Franketti's to talk all that had been happening since graduation. Pam said she would fill Karen in on what everyone else was up to. Pam had always known what everyone was doing. She had kept in touch with her classmates over the years. Pam and Karen met at Franketti's the next evening for dinner. Pam asked Karen what her brother Mike had been doing. Pam had only known that Mike owned a ranch out west in Texas. Karen replied that Mike owns a big ranch, with a great herd of cattle and that he also works for an oil refinery. But she said that he still wasn't married yet. Karen asked Pam what Charlie had been up to. Pam replied that he now has his own automotive garage in Florida, and is enjoying just working on cars all day long. Karen asked Pam what Vinnie had been doing since she left the island. Pam said that Vinnie did become a photographer, and now has her own studio in her home in Arizona. Karen and Pam were eating their dinner, and Pam remarked that the food stille tasted the sameg delicious. She remembered very well since she used to be a waitress here. Pam and Karen both wanted to see who had taken over the business and who was doing everything the same. The owner appeared at the table. It was Sherry! They both told Sherry she was doing a great job, and asked what else she had been doing since they left. Sherry replied that she loved owning Franketti's and running the restuarant was a big job, but she still hadn't forgotten about horses. She had opened her own riding stable on the island. Karen and Pam finished eating, and then went to the Marina to watch the boats come in. They saw a super big 50 foot cruiser which was owned by Paul. Paul saw Karen and Pam standing there looking at the boat, and asked if they wanted to go for a ride. They climbed on deck and left the Marina. Karen asked Paul what he had been doing. Paul said that he was now a lawyer in Washington and was enjoying his job. Paul said he takes a lot of vacations during the year. He travels around in his boat quite often. He told them that he had just returned from South America last week. While having their drinks, the three of them continued talking about all their old classmates. Pam suddenly remembered that she forgot to tell Karen about Marie. Karen said, lt I know Marie, she's doing great at whatever she's doing. But do tell me what she is doing. Pam said Marie had left the Island and was working out in California. While she was there she met an actor. She now lives in a Beverly Hllls mansion and has a maid to do her work while she lays in the sun around her 100 ft. swimming pool. Karen said, That's what brains will do. Well it's almost time to leave so we better get back to shore. When they returned, they thanked Paul for his hospitality. They returned to their jobs after vacation, only to wait to return to the Island again. ' 1 Q Kd Vinnie Thorne and Mike Seeholzer Ok Dimps! What's the matter with this dumb machine?

Smile you're on Candid Camera Poetry Kelleys I'm proud to say I live on Kelleys Isle Each person here has their own style. Each person in our community Can be whatever they want to be. Sometimes they're praised, sometimes they're put down Sometimes what they do is looked upon with a frown. But if you believe in what you do No one can ever stop you. Life here can be hard, it can also be fun There's something to do for everyone. From volleyball to ice skating, to playing in the snow There is always somewhere to go. Living on Kelleys is perfect for me There's no place else I'd rather be. Marie Feyedelem The Eagle To soar the wild blue sky And touch the clouds in heaven so high To spread your wings and glide And let the wind to be your guide. To see the earth below and watch the rivers Flow open your eyes to the kingdom of no cries If only others knew what it is to be free And do as you please and have the kingdom In your hand with the key. Sherry Willis Success There was a guy named funny, Who always wanted some money, I asked him for some money, He said if you want some money, You got to work like funny.

Karen Seeholzer Giving and sharing are spontaneous expressions of joy Kevin Haig School is four walls with tomorrow inside Candi Harris Poetry Winter - 77' Last winter to me was the best, Just to say the least. The snow was good for sledding, Even if it wasn't good for fishing. The ice was good for crossing So we did lots of passing From place to place. They began digging and plowing to clear the roads. Taking it out with the end loader by bucket loads. They kept down town open. Finally the roads were clean. We had beaten that mean scene, Of the winter storm. Paul Matso August The city dweller all complain When August comes and brings no Pavements burn up their feet, When the temperature is too great. They slow their pace, and wish They were in some other place. rain. Farmers don't mind the heat, Because they know it will bring Corn and wheat. We love to see the sun rise red And remember what the farmer said: 'An August month that's dry and warm Will never bust the farmers pride! Mike Seeholzer Teacher Teacher, teacher look here, Come and see the big brown deer, Teacher, teacher look there, Come and see a big bear. Teacher, teacher l'll see you later Cause I don't want to be eaten by that alligator, Teacher, teacher what is that? Teacher, teacher that's a bat. Teacher, teacher where are you. Teacher, teacher you're in a zoo. Scott Willis Spring When the snow is slowly melting, And buds are beginning to bloom, lt's a sign of Spring coming, and l hope it gets here soon. Vinnie Thorne I was looking in a window And I thought I saw the wind blow. I opened the door, And fell on the floor. I was going to get up, And started to get the hiccups. I went tothe air. I went to the porch, And saw a horse. I went to a bar, And found my car. Connie Matso What l Thought I Saw! I looked all around, And what did I see, little green squirrels up a red tree, tree was red the sky was brown. blue rabbits all around town. Two Ran The And 100 Ran But the squirrels are not green, The sky isn't brown. There is not a blue rabbit In our little town. Our squirrels are red, And the sky is blue, The rabbits are brown, And the trees are too. Charles Harris .3-nunlrf Through EXPERIENCE Mike becomes a PROJ Wishes There was a little girl who had a wish, And it wasn't for a fish! All day she would sit and say I wish a pony would come and stay. To her father she asked, Can I have a pony at last? His reply made her sigh, For a pony he said he would buy. But only he said, If you go straight to bed! So away she ran, Because she was happy with his Plan- Nicole Dye N , 5.44 . Look at the caterpillar. Cat I had a cat That always sat On my bed. She would purr When we'd pet her fur And stand on her head For a little cat She was fat And even wore a hat. She'd take a walk And to the birds did talk But always did come back. Missy Willis Snowman My snowman ran Into a lady On a winter day. She was made of snow So she did move slow And could not run away. They had some fun But could not run Before the sun came by When they were done She said Oh my And in a puddle did die. Lisa Matso Community Interviews Mr. and Mrs. Lee Brown are one of the elderly couples of the Island. Mr. Brown is 90 years of age. He and his wife, Helen, were both born and reared on the Island. Mrs. Brown was born in Ed Sennish's home. Mr. Brown was born in the house in which he now lives. He was a fruit harvester. The main occupations on the Island were quarrying, fishing, and the wineries. Supplies were brought across the ice in horse and bob sled. Mr. Brown served on the Water Board for 38 years. Mr. and Mrs. Brown said that the Island hasn't changed much, except things are modern now. They rember that steamboat rides were 25 cents. They also remember the first car was owned by the school principal. Mrs. Brown's graduating class consisted of 13 students. The school rooms were filled. They had school dances and school plays. They felt that there was better entertainment on the Island. Bands and orchestras used to come over to play that the people would have a good time. Mrs. Brown was the treasurer of the Literary Society. Miss Jean Dwelle and cousin 28 Sherry Brown Miss Jean Dwelle was born in Sandusky in 1902. She moved to the Island with her family when she was three years old. They moved to Cleveland when Jean was five years old. She came back to the Island in 1914 and attended Estes High School for one year. She was taken out of school by the doctor. She then helped her grandmother run the Dwelle Hotel. Her grandmother ran it until the 192O's. Jean recalls that the Moysey and the Ward families also ran boarding houses. Mr. John Himmelein also ran a hotel. There was a dance hall in his hotel. They invited bands to the Island to play for them. Actors and actresses came to the Island and put on plays in the Town Hall. They used to study their parts on Jean's front lawn. At the Dwelle Hotel they served meals to the boarders every day of the week. A baseball team came to the Island once, and Jean can remember going to the market and buying 12 steaks to feed them. When Jean re-opened the boarding house in 1948, a couple came and wanted to rent a room. Jean found out that they had stayed at the boarding house when her grandmother ran it. Marie Feyedelem Mrs. Frank Hamilton Lloyd was born in Bay Bridge, Sandusky County on August 11, 1903. Lloyd, his brother Jim, and sisters, Helen and Mary, came to the Island to visit during the summer. They stayed at Dawn KekeIik's house. They moved to the Island in 1924. Lloyd and his brother Jim, grew grapes and fruit for a living. One year they had 10,00 bushels of aof school for a day or two to help pick fruit. Sometimes it was as long as a couple of weeks. Lloyd can remember when more than 1,000 people lived on the Island. Lloyd said The difference on the Island now is that little land is cultivated and that there are no more grape vineyards. The main occupations were general farming, quarrying, fishing, and raising cattle. He said, Almost everyone had a cow. Many people raised cattle. Lloyd used to give sleigh rides. Sometimes he have as many as 25 a year. He drove the last horse across the ice in 1929. He has also crossed the ice in a Model T Ford. For entertainment, they had masquerade parties. LIoyd's father was the leader of them. Every Sunday afternoon people would gather in front of Matso's Bar - the Lodge - and talk. Downtown was only for men. Women and children were rarely seen downtown. Sherry Willis Mrs. Frank Hamilton came to Kelleys Island in the year 1922, or 1923, lshe can't rememberj. She had gone to business school. After graduating she came to the Island because she heard that the quarry was looking for a girl to work in the office. Mrs. Hamilton can remember that there were many people living on the Island then. The quarry was the main industry. There were also fisheries and wineries.

I - In December, after Neuman stops running his boats, there are very few ways to get off the Island. One is by plane which flies here, and flies back to the mainland. Griffing flies from Sandusky, and Island Airlines flies out of Port Clinton. It is about a 15 minute plane ride from either airport to here. Many people fly back and forth to shop or to attend meetings. There is another way off the Island if the ice is thick. Last winter the ice was just perfect for crossing the lake - by cars and some even crossed the ice on snowmobiles. Lots of people went to see friends and go shopping. Some people went to Put-in-Bay for just something to do. Paul Matso W-.X 'L ,, - n ., V ..51w'lf..
