Joan now resides on Route 1, Box 11, Zalfo Springs, Florida 33890. Nice to hear from you, Joan. 000 Bud and Irene Wise were due to return home this afternoon following a motor trip to Tennessee. 000 Bill and Marilyn Lawrence and children are here from Newfoundland, New Jersey, visiting Bill’s parents, William and Esther Lawrence, 109 East Washington Street. 000 Tomorrow is the Fourth of July.
