My brother and his family from Inglewood, Calif., spent a few days with us and found other relatives in Nebraska City. (The world is getting smaller.)

State Trooper Lawrence "Larry" Wylie remains flat on his back in a hospital bed in the Veterans hospital in Omaha with an apparent case of encephalitis. He has been in a semi-coma for over three weeks.
State Trooper Kenneth Chapman, who was in the same hospital for a kidney check up, will not be patroling highways because of his health, but will be assigned another job in Lincoln or Omaha.
The other two officers, Harold LeGrande and Leon Luxa, are about as loyal a pair you will find. The two have spent many of their days and nights off at the bedside with Officer Wylie. Nebraska City can be proud of its caliber of state troopers.
