Mrs4 .Gobelman, one of the earliest and staunchest workers for the American Legion Auxil iary discounted a certain per centage of the commanderi' tales of hardship, by cleverly injecting remarks that the Le gion's hardtimes were the Aux iliaries' problem to solve. Her account, substantiated to some extent by th6 "grey beard" commanders, 1919 through 1926, of the Legion's 35 year history at Plattsmouth impressed the 100 Legion and Auxiliary mem bers enjoying the birthday event. Recognition at the party was paid to past commanders of the post, with each of the seventeen present telling their major ac complishment. Paying the rent figured into most accounts, with the Auxiliary paying the bill. Commanders present included Frank Smith, first commander of the Legion, Raymond Larson, W. R. Holly.
