The entrée was furnished by the Blue Moun- tain Eagle, represented by some of the Eagle staff: Kris- WLQD .UHJHU &KHU\O +RHÀHU Kim Kell, Lindsay Bullock and Scotta Callister.

Oh, goody. The spring bulbs are all in full bloom, and the trees are get- ting green, so I assume spring has come to Grant County. On that note, remember the Eve- ning of Entertainment on Sat- urday, April 18. The theme is “Spring.” If you aren’t careful, you’ll miss “Spring” in Grant County. It was 65 degrees at some point the last of March, and then snowed on Easter. And the service at the old gym was just fabulous.

There was pasta and beans to take home for anyone inter- ested. I assume it was from the food bank. Found another person with a connection to the Jewel and Katie Walker family we lived next to, back in the 1950s: Na- dine Smith. Kate was her aunt. Usually girls are named Jewel, but he was a “gem” of a man. Always reminded me of actor Clint Walker, tall and ruggedly handsome.
