After vacationing in Osceola on Monday, July 14, 1941, Dale wrote, “Out to Wilma’s for dinner. Folks came out too. Left at 1:30 and arrived St. Paul about 10 p.m. Marie Gardner and Keith Schaffer came home with us.” Wilma Schaffer, a sister of Helen’s, was married to George Casey; they were farmers. The ‘folks’ were Jettie and Williams Gardner, Dale’s farmer parents. Marie was Dale’s sister, and Keith was a nephew of Helen’s.
