meal was served and it was
delicious. (We could not go
on account of my wfe’s
health). Almost everyone had
a part; the older men served
under the able direction of
“Happy” Sanford, and the
younger boys and girls put on
an entertainment worthy of
the best, and the ladies
had the pleasure of sitting
back and looking on.
A good time was enjoyed
by all. Wish we could have
been there.
We bought our tickets and
considered it a donation to
the good cause. It is reported
that it was a financial success
although the exact figures are
not yet available.
