Visits
Marie Hewitt has recently returned home from a two-week visit with her daughter, Mary Ellen and husband, Dan Beaulieu, in Sarasota, Fla. One day she spent with Mary Ellen at her work in a cancer clinic and was amazed at the amount of work that was done there. The rest of her visit was relaxing, visiting and, perhaps, eating too much, but she had fun.
Birthdays
Angie Johnston celebrated her birthday on March 18 with her niece, Lisa Tompkins, and her daughters, Brittany and Katelyn, who all enjoyed a spaghetti dinner. After dinner and cake and ice cream, Angie opened her presents and her many cards. She got a call from her daughter, Rhonda Norton, of Plymouth, Conn., to wish her a happy day. Her sister, Amy Dixon, from California, called. Her sister-in-law, Christine Wilcox, also called, as did a friend, Jinney Griffen, of Hollis, to wish her the best. After her little party she was invited to a neighbor and friend’s apartment, Judy Shaw’s, for lunch with Judy’s friend, Napoleon.
Another birthday party was held recently at Arlene Ladner’s for her sister, Ada Perley, of Perth Andover, New Brunswick, Canada. Those who came to celebrate with her were: her sisters, Leola Smith and Velma Brayall, also from the Perth Andover area; Leona Pelkey and brother, Leonard Williams, and his wife, Cheryl, both from California Settlement, New Brunswick. A cousin, Elaine Donovan, of Caswell, also joined them to celebrate the day.
Book drive
Don’t forget the book drive that is going on right now for Nathan White, who is a student at Bentley College. He has asked for help with his service project for one of his classes. Nathan belongs to the National Honor Society and his goal is to gather 1,000 books to help a Teen LEEP non-profit organization to set up a bookstore and pick up experience in the management of that store. Books may be dropped off at the Easton Jr./Sr. High School or the Easton Elementary School.
