day dinner to help him celebrate his 90th birthday. A lovely decorated cake and ice cream was served along with a delicious dinner. Roscoe received many birthday cards. I happened to be a guest also and in talking to Roscoe, 1 asked him why he drives to North Liberty every Sunday to go to the Mennonite Church. He said his parents raised him in a Mennonite church. I also asked him if he has ever eaten chicken at the Y-Go-By Restaurant when Tom and Alice Gedgoud managed the restaurant and he said, "Oh yes, lots of times." So I told him 1 helped to process all those fryers we use to sell them. Well, it was a birthday celebration that Roscoe won't forget as there was about 120 present and so happy birthday. Roscoe, from all your friends. George Richard Heim was honored Saturday evening with a dinner with about 50 attending at the Masonic Lodge.
