North Liberty has lost two more senior citizens, Lily O’Connor, 94, of Sycamore Road, who passed away last Tuesday in Medco Center and Alto Holmes, Sr., 85, of 403 E. Rupel St., North Liberty. Our sympathy goes to both of these families. Sony I didn’t write much news this week as it’s just too hot and everyone is staying in and trying to keep cool . I and Aletha Croy went out to the beach at Potato Creek State Park Sunday afternoon thinking it would be cool, but it was so humid and hot that we didn’t stay long and here it is Monday and the temperature is 101 so it’s much worse today. I'm staying in, how about you?
