Notes for Elden Louis ANDREWS
Elden, in 1939 or '40, was in charge of making pancakes for the
guys and instead of mixing pancake flour and water he mixed
flour and water and had library paste.

When Elden was in college he set up the horse-shoe peg next to
the house and the other on the way to class. When he left for
school in the morning he would throw the shoe towards school and
Wilma could always tell when Elden was coming home for lunch
because the horseshoe would crash against the house.
-Wilma '91 reunion

In 1987 , just after Wilson had orthoscopic surgery he was up in
the San Juans with Elden. One day both of them went out to the
boat to get groceries. WIlson had specific instructions no to
get his knee wet. When Wilson stepped into the dingy his knee
gave and he fell into the back of the boat on top of Elden. The
last thing Elden remembered was looking straightup at the bow of
the digny as it promptly flipped over. Spectators remarked
later (Gale Andrews) that she thought something was wrong when
she heard Elden yell "OH SHIT!!" After the little experience
WIlson swam straight for shore while Elden remained floating
next to the dingy, trying to figure out what to do, with his
pipe still in his mouth.
