Clyde's Big Beard


Uncle Clyde went outdoors to do a little lawn maintainence. The bounty of the Spanish Moss on the beautiful Florida trees gave him just what he needed to pose with a long beard.
It should be pretty easy to shave off when he takes a notion. Clyde and Lois treated me to a great visit and a delicious steak dinner when I had the good fortune to visit with them in early March. Thanks Clyde and Lois! I enjoyed getting together with you.

Robert's Snowman



Another unexplained incident occured in Kecksburg, PA as the sun was setting on Dec 26th, 2005. A very well constructed snowman fell to the ground only hours after it had been raised on display by Eric, Matthew and Jacob Gilbertson in the front yard of Robert Bitner. Bitner's initial thoughts blamed the demise of the snowman on shoddy engineering by MIT students. Keith Gilbertson, ever wary of mysterious events in Kecksberg, rejected this theory and pointed to numerous other possibilities. He listed as a prime suspect, the "non- believer" who lives near Robert in the shadow of the snowman. Keith believes this man may be fed up with Robert constantly being in the limelight. This may also explain the man's motivation for claiming nothing big happened in Kecksburg back in December 1965. With the snowman toppled, he may have thought photographers would not be flocking to Robert's house. While the envious neighbor theory seems plausible, Gilbertson has some other ideas. Robert's delicious pickled beets were used for the snowman's decorative buttons. They may have attracted a hungry passerby or possibly a group of squirrels. In the rush to gather the Beets, an accident may have happened. As of this writing the investigation is on going. Check back for updates

Gravy Ladies













We are hoping to get a recipe from the Bitner girls but they say you have to be a certain age before you can make good gravy. If you need to know the recipe to make good gravy you probably aren't old enough to make it. Be patient.

Clyde Bitner Baseball Player


Clyde Alvy Bitner lived in Montana in 1914. Here is an excerpt from a story about a game in which he played in against a team from Japan. It sounds like he was a great outfielder.
Anaconda, Montana vs. Meiji, Japan July 16, 1914

The spectacular plays of the game were two catches by Bitner in the fourth. The best was a running grab in short right, the wind carrying the drive away from the speeding fielder. The second was even more sensational. Two were out and a runner on second when Asano drove what seemed a safe liner over second. Bitner tore in and slid at the last to scoop the ball just before it touched the ground
