I think it's great that the Victoria Chamber of Commerce gives scholar-ships to deserving students.  The fishhook is on page 32 in the Prairie Lawn & Gar-den ad.

To the Editor:
Hello, Sue.  My name is Gail Grimm Lave.  I now live in Springfield, Missouri.  I originally lived in Billings, Montana, where I grew up with my family Robert Grimm and Dorothy.
A couple years ago my oldest brother got a hold of a family tree of the Grimm family, which included Wendelin Grimm and others. 
Recently my father was taken quite ill and had heart surgery, where I came across the most interesting of news.  My father's brother, Jack Grimm, brought me a copy of the information about the Grimm farm in Minnesota and who my great great grandfather was.  I absolutely loved it all.  I now have this family tree of the Grimm family starting at approximate-ly 1705 but has since been discontinued around 1956, three years after my birth.
I am trying to complete it up to date, but have run into a stalemate of some of the family information.  Is there any chance that one of the Grimm family in your area would be interested in having some input with the family tree?
My Uncle Jack Grimm is also going to Minnesota and was going to try to look up some relatives.  I would appreciate any information you could give me, and I also have the copy of the tree if need be.
If you are in contact with any mem-ber of the Grimm family, feel free to pass on my e-mail address, miscuegl@aol.com.
Thanks for your time.  And thanks for answering my e-mail.  I did get in touch with Clarence Kelzer last night as you suggested.

Thanks for the fun in finding the fish-hook.  My family has a separate contest to see who can find it.  Last one to find it does the dishes.  This month's fishhook is hidden in the chainsaw of the Prairie Lawn and Garden ad on page 32.  Thanks.

It was much too easy!  The fishhook is on page 32 in the Prairie Lawn & Garden ad.  I love the Gazette and you.

Those trees in the Prairie Lawn and Garden ad on page 32 in your June paper will be at their highest performance once the fish guts get buried around them.  Mom did that with trees and flower bushes.  It's an all-natural fertilizer.  The fishhook is in the power tool of that ad.
