Kathy Gerstein celebrated her seventh birthday that day and invited Kasey and Patti Anderson, Mary Kanter, Lauri Radtke, Ann Sherman and Mary Walcxynski to help her. They started out by plpying that everpopular potato game, plus wbo knows how many others. Finally, they settled down to have birthday cake and ice cream. Then a little more time for fun and it was time to take their favors and head for home. Kathy's brother, Donnie, shared in the fun and, as bi<? brothers will, helped to take charge. Everyone had a real good time, as I said before. Happy birthday, Kathy! .

LaGrecas Return From Sunny South One of the first signs of Spring.

They also got to see tlteir son, Jack Pavlik, and his wife and their six children who live not too far away, (note to Edna--I didn't know how to spell it». They also spent 10 days al Daytona Beach doing "nuthin." That's the way to spend a vacation. Just sit around arid soak up sun and do nothing. Welcome home, you guys!
