Visitors of Tony and Sue King during spring break were Sue’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Art Dickerson of Pennsylvania. They also visited with the grandchildren, Jessie Stephens and daughter, Ella and Amos Baker and Kristian.
Speaking of visitors, Paul Petrosky and wife, Lillie and Lillie’s daughter, Carlyn Baca of Yoakum, along with Lewis Petrosky of Lockhart (Mendoza) visited with Raymond and Myrtle Heideman last Wednesday. The “guys” brought their pictures and histories of their tour of duty in the military for the Wall of Honor and Memory. Paul and Lewis attended the Uhland School. It was noted that Lewis, along with Clarance Heideman and Leonard Kramer are the only survivors of the class of 1938 of the Uhland High School.
Happy belated birthday to Gladys Sorrells. Her birthday was March19. She stated she was “older than dirt!” Her son, Tim, daughter-in-law, Debbie and granddaughter Mia of Austin spent the day doing chores, shopping and enjoying lunch at Palmer’s in San Marcos. Have many more “happy, healthy and wealthy” birthdays, Gladys.

Happy 4th birthday to Pauline Whisenant, daughter of Susan Whisenant and Gregg Roach. She had two parties, Grandpa and Grandma, Jim and Doris Roach, honored her with a party on her birth date, March 19, and Grandpa Whisenant had a party in her honor on March 20. Lots of cake and presents. Here’s wishing you many more, Pauline.
Don’t forget the sock drive for the nursing home residents. The Women’s Guild is collecting men’s and women’s socks. With air conditioning weather coming up, a pair of socks will feel mighty good!
