We should be thankful for the beautiful weather we are having. Ida Benda of Madera, Calif., called me Nov. 8 and told me it was 56 degrees and humidity was 79 percent. She was busy raking leaves in her yard, trimming tree limbs, and taking care of her flowers. She and I talked about our relationship with the Stikas. She learned that my great-grandfather, Frank Stika, was one of the firefighters who fought the big Chicago fire. She also told me she has a picture of the Steiner Band. Her father played in the band.
