SHARON TOWNSHIP, Ohio – They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but this is ridiculous. Lois Csontos-Nielsen and Freda Jones have been friends for 70 years. They have been in each other’s presence exactly four times – an average of once every 17 ½ years. This odd friendship is the equivalent of an arranged marriage. In 1946, when Lois was 12, she saw a story in the Weekly Reader that said young people in England were looking for pen pals in the United States. British officials appreciated the sacrifices Americans had made for their country during the just-ended World War II, and young folks were being encouraged to form bonds with young Americans to strengthen the alliance. Once the matchmakers hooked them up, Freda wrote a note to Lois. Lois still has it. Seventy years later. She fished it out the other day for some visitors to her home in Sharon Township, where she has lived for half a century. Dated July 1, 1946, the introductory greeting covers several pages of tiny stationary. Lois agreed to read it aloud. “I’m afraid I do not exactly answer to your wish because I am 15, not 12. But I have wanted a pen pal in the USA for such a long time. “Yes, I have got a pet. He’s a dog. He is all white except for one black patch over his left eye. He also likes meat and cake.” Lois laughs, as do her visitors. “Have you got any brothers or sisters? I have only one sister who is 17. She is going to take up nursing as a career.... “Have you got a picture of yourself I could have? Would you like one of

me? “I noticed that your father is a clergyman. My father owns large lorries. I believe you call them ‘trucks.’ “I used to know a lot of American soldiers when they were over here. “I will close for now. From your pen pal and friend, “Freda Woolley” Fast-forward to 2016. Freda’s most recent letter arrived not by boat, not by plane, but with the push of a button. The tone is as different as the delivery method. “Thank you for my birthday greetings. I had a lovely day. Pat took me to a stately home near Shrewsbury. We had a couple of hours looking round at all the old furniture and then we had a delicious afternoon tea. “Since then I have been doing very poorly. I was rushed off to hospital in an ambulance. I had an infection in my kidney again like I had three years ago and again ended up with sepsis. “For three days I was right out of it. I was in hospital for a week and I have been home a week. They put in a stent. ... “I am feeling a little better but very weak. ... “Lots of love to you and all the family. “Freda” The arc of time changes the tone of everyone’s letters. But nothing has changed this friendship.

Write on

Writing at least three or four times a year, they kept at it through three collective marriages and the deaths of all three husbands – two for Lois. They kept at it through the birth of five kids, three for Lois. Now they not only have grandkids, but also great-grandkids, three for Freda and a fourth on the way for Lois. The women wrote their way

lion moves by Lois. Because of her father’s different ministry assignments, “I grew up everywhere,” she says with a laugh. Born in a little mining town in western Maryland, her homes were as far afield as Africa. When the pen pals first connected, Lois was in Duquesne, Pa. Her first move to Ohio came when her father took over a pulpit in East Palestine. From there Lois moved to Cleveland to attend the Carnegie Institute, studying to be a medical technician. She spent most of her career working for doctors in Lodi who had a private practice and an inhouse lab. The two women didn’t meet in person until 1977 – 31 years after the first letter.

Lois went first

After visiting Sweden, Lois and her husband took a boat to Britain, arriving at an eastern port. Freda, who lived in west-central England in a small town called Bridgnorth, warned Lois that she was in for a “very long” car ride. The distance: about 200 miles. “I said, ‘In my country, that would not have gone across the top of my state.” A visitor asks what surprised Lois the most about her friend the first time they met. Karen Schiely, Akron Beacon Journal/TNS Not much. Lois Csontos-Nielsen, in Sharon Township, Ohio, talks about her experience of writ“We were just friends already,” she ing to her pen pal Freda Jones in England for 70 years.

“At the time, I had an Amish friend in the Middlefield area,” Lois says. “She arranged for us to go to the Amish school, which was so neat for Freda. The kids had pieces they recited, and they sang for us. “Freda said later she thought the best part of the whole trip was going to that school.” The highlight of Lois’ second trip to England came in Lake District National Park: “We drove up and actually saw where Peter Rabbit lived” – aka the 17th-century farmhouse once occupied by author Beatrix Potter. “My daughters and I were so excited. Freda’s husband said, ‘I can’t believe how excited you are over a rabbit!’ I said, ‘You just don’t understand.’?”

New love

Lois’ first husband died after 45 years of marriage. She met her second husband at a traditional pickup spot: a cemetery. “Not usually where you think of,” she says with a laugh. He was involved with the formation of the Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, Ohio, and she was volunteering (still does, twice a week, mending flags and answering phones). They met the day the cemetery opened and were together for five years before he died in 2005. Meanwhile, Lois and Freda live on. The relationship has survived because “we were compatible. We just had things in common to write about. We both enjoyed handcrafts.” The walls of Lois’ house are covered with quilted hangings she has made and taken to shows. “If it had been someone else, it might not have lasted as long.” Almost anyone else, probably.

Personalize, “To personify, to make personal, to ascribe personal qualities to”, this is how Webster’s describes the term and its definition is never more apparent than when describing the “personalization” of a monument. Did the person being memorialized have a special love in their life, hobby, maybe a favorite poem? If the memorial is for yourself, is there a certain way you wish to be remembered?

Where Comfort,

Terry’s Turn

Memories of going Quality & Value Meet. camping as a youth 60 Years of Experience As we are in the last throes of summer, I’ve been seeing a lot of campers and motor homes on the road lately. I suppose everyone is trying to get in a last bit of camping before summer ends and the kids head back to school. We have a camper. It’s a 33-foot 5th wheel with 3 slide outs, Terry Turner air conditioning, turnert185@outlook.com surround sound stereo, two TVs and a fireplace. Going camping in that is not exactly roughing it and certainly nothing like what I did as a kid. I was in the Scouting program from Cub Scouts up to Explorers where I grew up in North Omaha. As a Cub Scout I could hardly wait until I was old enough to move on into Boy Scouts. Those guys got to do all the neat stuff like carving real wood with a real knife instead of a bar of soap with a dull butter knife like Cub Scouts, but more importantly they also got to go on overnight camping trips. I remember shortly after joining Boy Scout Troop 67 we were all introduced to our new scoutmaster. Apparently the old scoutmaster couldn’t handle a bunch of preteen, hormone-raging boys. Our new scoutmaster was Jerry Hoban, who looked to be not a whole lot older than we were. He was probably in his early twenties. Jerry started off by getting to know each of us and even gave some of the guys a nickname. When he came to me he said, “Terry, let’s see maybe you should be Terrance. No, you don’t look like a Terrance. I’ll call you Clarence.” And for my entire scouting career I was known as Clarence. I didn’t mind the name change as long as I got to go camping. As it turned out Jerry loved camping

as much as we did, and we went on overnight campouts almost every weekend, plus we got to go to Camp Cedars near Fremont, Nebraska, for two weeks in the summer. I liked summer camp but those weekend trips were my favorite. Maybe it was because they happened all year round and in every kind of weather. I remember one winter overnight camping trip when I mistakenly left my boots outside the tent. I woke up the next morning only to discover those boots were full of snow. I made a mental note to make sure everything was inside the tent before going to sleep. During all our camping trips we were responsible for not only pitching our two-man pup tent but also for cooking our own food and washing our own dishes. One night I decided I wouldn’t dirty a pot for my chili but I’d just heat it up in the can and eat it that way so the only thing I’d have to wash would be a spoon. It was a great idea or so I thought. That night the campfire was going strong and I placed the can of chili con carne at the edge to heat it up. I went back to my tent to get a spoon and some crackers. As I was digging through my pack I heard an explosion. Wondering what that was I quickly turned around only to see the contents of my can of chili flying through the air along with half the campfire. “Clarence!!” Jerry shouted as he stomped out the little fires all around the campsite. “Don’t you know you’re supposed to open the can before you put it on the fire?” I smiled meekly. “I do now,” I answered. Those days of camping in a tent under the stars are long gone and I’m sure I couldn’t survive an experience like that today. These days, staying in a campground without Wi Fi is roughing it and I now heat my chili in the microwave. It’s much safer.

Iowa Quilt Museum is a

QUILTER’S Mecca By TERRY TURNER‌

WINTERSET, Iowa – If quilters have a Mecca it has to be Winterset. The small town of a little over 5,000 just southwest of Des Moines has a quilt shop, a Ben Franklin Store with a fabric department, and now a quilt museum. The Iowa Quilt Museum opened its doors this year on May 21. The museum is on the south side of the town square in an historic building that began as a hardware store in 1886. In the early 1900s the building was home to a dry goods store. From 1931 to 1997 the J.C. Penney Department store occupied the site. In 1997 the structure was occupied by an appliance store and later a gift shop and then a photo studio. Marianne Fons, board member of the museum and co-host of the popular public television show “Fons and Porter’s Love of Quilting,” said although they’ve managed to keep the historic look of the building, they have made some improvements. “It’s a beautiful building that had been gutted and rehabbed years ago for retail space,” said Fons. One unique feature that was added to the building is moveable walls. Fons said the walls can be rearranged to accommodate the quilts on display. “The walls were made by a local cabinet maker and we can change the way our exhibit space is laid out. We can change things to fit whatever exhibit we may have. It’s very flexible.” Fons said they plan on changing the displays of quilts three times a year. Another unique feature that was added to the building is a modern heating and cooling system. “It keeps the ground floor at 50 percent humidity and a constant

For quilters the names of Fons and Porter are linked with everything quilting. Over the years they’ve written books and provided instruction on the art of quilting with seminars and their weekly quilting program on TV nationwide. The show has been on the air since

2003 and was originally hosted by Marianne Fons and Liz Porter. Marianne’s daughter Mary began co-hosting with her mother after Porter went into semi-retirement. Fons and Porter first got together while in their twenties. “We took a beginning quilting class,” remembered Fons. “That’s how we got started. We were young mothers looking for a way to make money

for diapers and milk. One thing leads to another and you’re on public TV for 20 years.” Both Fons and Porter are now semi-retired. “My daughter Mary is now hosting many of the episodes.” Fons said the art of quilting goes back many years. “Quilted clothing and bedcovers go back many centuries in many countries in the world, but patchwork, appliqué, and

All of the quilts are red and white, a very popular genre in the quilt world.” The oldest quilt on display is a Feathered Star made in 1849. The quilt is hand-pieced and hand-quilted by Mary Susan Van Metere from Berkley County, Virginia.

“Deconstruction,” a quilt by Victoria Findlay Wolfe, is a variation on the traditional Double Wedding Ring pattern familiar to quilters and many non-quilters alike.
