Merry Christmas to everyone who reads our local news columns.
The Masonic Christmas dinner at Robert Burns’ Lodge Saturday at 1:00 p.m. was well attended and enjoyed by everyone present, certainly no one went away hungry. We appreciate the Masons! I was fortunate to have my four children present. They were Dave and Karen Davis from Udall, Marlyn Pitcock, with granddaughter, also Lyndon and Linaia Pitcock, son Tyler, and daughter, Mindy Jean Wright with her four month old daughter, Chloe Mae, from Springfield, along with my daughter, Kris Luebbert and her granddaughter Alexus Luebbert from Lindsborg, KS, and Salina, KS. They all came home with me, and did a lot of raking and burning leaves.
