1968 Weekend in Wisconsin and Wulffs Island Inn – 1968

This one drops you right into their day— 1968 Weekend in Wisconsin and Wulffs Island Inn in their own words. You know, where you can leave Chicago or this part of the country on a Friday afternoon and get where you’re going by supper time and bed down in a nice place and be assured that you’ll find one or two interesting spots for meals and maybe a little sightseeing along the way. And we came upon Wolf’s Island Inn. Well, when I was young, a teenager, we used to think it was great and exciting to go out to Wolf’s Island for dinner.

Lincoln Park Zoo (Part 1) – September 8, 1968

Short, warm, and very much 1968— Lincoln Park Zoo (Part 1) in their own words. See right there, he’s going through a display. Then in the afternoon, instead of like a lot of zoos, don’t give them a lot of fresh vegetable. In fact, this zoo has at least seven World Longevity Record animals.

Guest Polly Murray of McCormick Spices – 1968

A quick slice of the late‑60s— December 1968. Guest Polly Murray of McCormick Spices in their own words. And I wonder if anyone’s ever used or tried cinnamon in brownies, because chocolate and cinnamon go very, very well together. So this could be something they could be to put just a little bit of cinnamon in. And incidentally, if you’re having guests in for Christmas, let’s maybe cut little tiny squares of brownies, just bite-sized ones that are nice to eat, rather than the larger ones.

Quebec City (Part 1) – December 29, 1968

Short, warm, and very much 19xx— Quebec City (Part 1) in their own words. But the other day we got to talking about a trip we took two years ago to Quebec City, Carnival. And we couldn’t find a place to stay in one of the big hotels and then right now I’m very glad of it because we were able to stay in a private home. Yes and you really don’t park on the streets in Quebec City.

1969 Ivanhoe Theatre and The Corn is Green – 1969

Think street‑level and spontaneous— 1969 Ivanhoe Theatre and The Corn is Green in their own words. And now, Mal and Joe are on the go to the theatre, and to the theatre that is giving me little goosebumps these days, because in my opinion, this is the best theatre in the city of Chicago. And George Keithley, I believe, is one of the finest director producers in not only Chicago, but in this country. We went out to Aaron Davies Welsh Presbyterian Church out on the west side of Chicago.

Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1969 Gourmet Society in their own words. Joe and I are members of a gourmet society. The name of our society is La Société pour la cuisine international This allows us to eat at all sorts of restaurants, not just French restaurants And I’m going to talk to each member and see what he or she has gotten out of this thing.
