generations. Mother, Eileen McKnight; daughter, Belinda
Rismiller; and granddaughter Rachael Rismiller.

Thursday evening’s revue emceed by Betsy Nisonger and Betty
Nichols. Other members of the Domestic Arts staff who assisted
during the revue as well as throughout the week were Marilyn Leisure,
Jackie Kimmel, Joyce Barga, Marilyn Hummel, Charlotte Threewits, and
Pam Clum.
