Bits and Pieces More memories

After reading about the Kinsey Players and the years they performed in the area, Margaret Musselman of Wooster wrote that she and her brother, Jerry Middleton, can recall hearing their parents talk about the troupe and the lady who ran the show -- Madge Kinsey Graf.

(Graf was the daughter of founding managers, M.L. and Beth Kinsey, and received top billing when she made her stage debut in 1901 as "Baby Madge, Phenomenal Child Artist.")

"We lived in Loudonville at the time and the story was that our dad was out of work when he went to watch the men set up the tent," recalled Musselman. "When he asked if he could help, they hired him for a few dollars."

Soon Musselman's mother was asked if she would be interested in doing the cast's laundry while they were performing in town. She agreed.

"Through the years Mom would tell how she washed and ironed clothes all day," said Musselman. "The outfits had to be dried outside on a clothesline. She would starch and press the ruffles on the ladies' costumes and said the men liked the way she starched and ironed their white shirts.

"It must have been a highlight of Mom's life," Musselman pointed out, "because she loved to tell about it."

Fond memory

"I loved that group," she stated.

Wooster Lumber Girls

After Wooster historian Harry McClarran asked for photos of the Wooster Lumber Girls Fast-Pitch Softball Team, Vicki (Sutherland) Ritchie wrote to say she played the 1971 season with the team.

"Mr. Carter was one of the greatest sponsors that a team could have," said the former shortstop. "He made sure the girls had everything that was necessary to have a winning team.

"I loved every moment of every game," she continued. "It was a great team and a great league for girls and young women. I often wonder myself what happened to all the girls on the team."

Julie Wiles wrote to say she was the person who originally got Louie Carter to sponsor the Lumber Girls team when it was still Tri- City Cardinals of Dalton. She mentioned teammates Judy Stine, Darlene Sapp and Dot Meola.

Great pickles

Ralph Martin of Goshen, Ind., said he enjoyed the column about the Wooster Preserving Co.

"When Smucker's bought Wooster Preserving in 1964," he wrote, "I became the plant manager until it was moved to Medina Sexy Clothes with another pickle plant bought by Smucker's. We made great pickles."

Smucker's eventually exited the pickle business, he explained.

FYI

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from WWII fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."
