Patricia and Louis Leveille of St. Ignace welcomed friends to their anniversary party last weekend. They were married May 18, 1957.

The busy weekend is over with family gatherings, but graduations and parties are still going on.

Happy to see Lindean and George Shootser home after a twoweek vacation in Kingston, Tennessee, visiting family. Lindean became captain of a boat. She has her license, and is very proud.

Birthday wishes to Jeff Tamlyn June 9 and Jack Fenlon, who will turn the "Big 80" June 11.

Destiny Stenberg, six-year-old daughter of Dan Blair of St. Ignace, was graduated from kindergarten Wednesday, May 23, from Soo Hill Elementary School near Escanaba.

What a pleasant call I received from Bunny Rickley, who is excited to have her grandson, John Ross Closs, home for a week to attend the high school graduation of his sister, Chelsea. John Ross is stationed in Baghdad, Iraq. They will have a family gathering at the home of Kathy and Cory Peterson. Joining them will be Marsha and Don Rickley along with their children, Taylor Rose and Abigail Grace, of Toledo, Ohio, and Aunt Alice Switlicki.
