December 11, 1984 -- 29 There can be little doubt who had the greenest thumb in the Pine Garden Club this past summer. Grace Bajema of Nestleton (second from left) walked away with the three major awards for gardening as the Club held its final banquet last week. Grace won the Paul Johansen (left) trophies for best vegetable and flower gardens, and the Analda Nurseries trophy for most points, presented by David and Kathleen Petrie. This is the first time that a club member has won the three top awards, and we're sure that Grace is already thinking spring. FIRSI, HE KILLED THE BOTTLE... WAI | DON'T DRIVE.
