place trophy in the category for best appearing fire department from an area with a population of fewer than 500.

Well, we’ve been waiting by the phone to hear about your summer vacation plans. Ray and Ruby Cannon expect their daughter Donna tomorrow for a trip from college in Colorado. Gene and Donna Fisher recently returned from a tour along the East Coast. Please feel free to contact our Castleton correspondent with your news. We hope to feature your name and your neighbors’ in future columns.
And so, until next week, we leave you with Aunt Michele’s favorite motto, “When you come to the end of the road, you’ll usually hit a highway—and find your way home.”
