  Notes	Volume 5 of the Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast, published September 1, 1941, reported that Shirley Anne Lenzner was graduated with honor June 9, 1941 by North Central College, Napierville, Illinois. Shirley had also accepted a position in the Wayne Public Schools. Cass City Chronicle Friday, April 6, 1956 Cass City Area Social and Personal Items Page Four Rev. and Mrs. J. Franklin Beck and four sons of Grand Island, N.Y., came Sunday night and visited Mrs. Beck's mother, Mrs. H.F. Lenzner, until Wednesday morning. Mrs. Lenzner accompanied them home to spend a week. In 1966, while living in Akron, Ohio, she wrote this letter to the editors of the Cass City Chronicle to accompany her subscription renewal: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Haire, I am including this personal note, because the experience of subscribing to the Cass City Chronicle is so unique that I cannot let it pass by casually. By virtue of being born in the bedroom in the apartment just above the "big press", I suppose that since my first moments on earth I have heard the rumble of printing machinery, and have always been sure that a little printers' ink was mixed with my blood. My first 17 years in Cass City were intertwined with the Chronicle schedule, and I can remember well the various assignments of bringing papers from the folder, labeling, delivering to the post office, writing out liners and subscription renewals, proof-freading, and eventually writing copy. After school days ans marriage, my physical closeness with the Chronicle naturally ceased, but the weekly issues have followed me and been read regularly in Illinois, New York, and now in Ohio. When Dad and Mother sold to you folks 15 years ago, it was almost like parting with a member of the family. However, the move was a wise one, and we have all been pleased with the very harmonious way in which the Haire-Lenzner relations have continued since then. The death of both of my parents wevers my most important ties in Cass City. One cannot easily dismiss sentimental associations that abruptly, however, and there are still many people in Cass City about which I care. So please apply the enclosed check of $4.00 on our Chronicle subscription for the coming year. I can't say goodbye to that part of my life yet. Sincerly, Shirley Lenzer Beck 1040 Oak Tree Rd.
