People made me eat, made me walk, taking turns keeping me interested. I wouldn't go to the movies for fear of seeing George in the six reel Altas film, so never saw it. Weavers took Buddie and me to Winona Lake Indiana where they had a cottage.  I rode horseback, rowed with Dad into Warsaw, thru the narrow channel, while Dad told Buddie of all the places he had taken Buddie's Daddy from age five, Buddie's age.  Then we returned home, to the home we had "initiated" with loving happy doings, the first time furniture of our own.  I couldn't sleep and I couldn't cry. Not dead, just away.  No George to snuggle to, to be glad with me when the mail flew over at night on time, safely.  George everywhere yet nowhere.  I re-read and re-read the wire from Katherine Stinson;  "It must be a comfort to you to know how happy you made this boy and were made happy by this boy who was so beloved.  He truly was a Prince of men."
Affectionately, Katherine Stinson.

The Army Flyers returned from flying around the world 1924.  George's students soloed at Rich Field, Waco, Texas 1917 - 1918, Leigh Wade, Eric Nelson, Leslie Arnold, sent a wire to the Aero Club of Illinois to Buck askng him to tour with them in the States as Toastmaster.  Too late, Buck while sick had kept track of them on a piece of yellow paper, was concerned when Leigh Wade was nearly lost.  The GOOD that men do lives after them, Mr. Shakespeare!  The Aero Club sent me a long stemmed American Beauty rose in memory of George with the message.  Katherine with a group for the reception in Chgo.[[Chicago]], came to La Grange to share it.  
I tried later unsuccessfully to rent my bedrms [[bedrooms]] with use of kitchen.  The school teachers moved out when I was at Weavers and only one of the four paid me.
