When my sister and I joined the Daughters of Union Veterans
of the Civil War, we were amazed that one of our members was
a "Real Daughter". Yes, her father fought in the Civil War, her
name was Emily Jane Stevens and she passed away in March.
Her father was Samuel Perry Dinsmoor, born in 1843 in Ohio,
enlisted with Co. B, 116th Ohio Infantry, fought in 18 major battles,
and witnessed the taking of General Lee. He was 81 years old
when Emily was born in 1924 and died in July 1932.
According to the Army's pension records, there are still two
"Real Sons" living. If you are interested in this time frame of
history, the 123rd National Convention of the DUVCW will
be held at the Dowtown Holiday Inn, Lincoln,
July 31 - August 4 this year.

The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley announces that it will be holding
open auditions for "The Boys Next Door" at 7pm on Monday July 22 and
Tuesday, July 23. "Boys" is a very funny yet very touching play that
focuses on the lives of their social worker.
Artistic Director Kevin Colbert notes that the script is designed so that 6 of the
supporting roles may be played by one actress and one actor. However,
if we have enough auditionees, the cast may be doubled. Also the script
suggests that the role of Lucian be an African American.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Rehearsals will begin in
late July. Performances will run weekends August 31- September 15. Those
auditioning should bring a list of possible schedule conflicts. Questions about
auditions or the production itself may be directed to Kevin Colbert
at 402-234-1553.
