Before I get back to Grandpa's journal, I thought I'd add this program I found recently.  This is the program for the West Alexandria, Ohio Centennial.  Looking through it, I found a lot of names I recognized, plus some facts about the village I didn't know.  

   I hope some of you can look at this and find names of people you remember.  Others may learn some things about West Alex.  I loved the daily schedules of events, especially the prizes awarded for the competitions.  What would we do today for $.50 first prize or $.25 for second place.  But I imagine in 1936 $.50 could buy a meal.  So, I hope you all look at this as fondly as I have.

   In my next entry, I'm going to start on the journal again.  There was a gap in his writing but I'll pick up just where I left off at the last entry.  It will start with October, 1944.  But first, enjoy celebrating West Alex's 100th anniversary.
