Wet/Dry chapter meets
LARNED — Forty members and guests of the Santa Fe Trail Wet/Dry chapter met March 31 at the Presbyterian Church in Larned.  
President David Clapsaddle thanked members who remembered him during his recent hospital stay.  
During the business meeting, recognition was given to newlyweds Wilmer and Cheryl Wegerle and sympathy was extended to the Joyce Book family, longtime chapter member.  
Members will be called on to help restore several stone posts, pushed down by vandalism at the Zebulon Pike Plaza.  The popular Talking Tombstone program will be held at the Larned Cemetery sometime in September.
Ed Carlson, of Olathe, formerly of Kinsley, was well received as he spoke on the Santa Fe Railroad especially in and around the Wet/Dry Routes area.  Pictures of the “end of the track” instituted a lively discussion of the topic.  
Following the program, a delicious meal was served by hosts Merlene Baird, Rosetta Graff, Rosie Rein and Alice Clapsaddle.
