Hello everyone, it’s been a couple of weeks I know. I didn’t mean to leave you hanging. I had to gather some news, so I could write, right? We depend on you to get us your news, civic groups, church groups, so in the future, feel free to send your news and photos. I’ll have my e-mail address posted at the bottom of this column.
You know we always do the birthday wishes, sent in from Gottrocks the birthday fairy, so here we go. Happy birthday wishes to Virginia “Ginny” Yarbrough, Alvin Lominick, Roche, Janet O.Ballentine, Charles Wellling, Rev. Kelly G.Snelgrove and to my mom in memory — Dorothy “Dot” Fowler.
