Athena Community Notices and Social Roundup
Athena area residents travel visits and health updates as Edna Harder waits tables at Kilgore's Cafe. Various locals like Velma Schubert and Lela at Freewater, Archie Henderson in Athena, Ed Kidder and Ed Pittman returning from Portland, and Mrs Til Taylor visiting from Portland appear across gatherings and illnesses. A Pacific coast heat wave and local bridge clubs, weddings, reunions, and a Pendleton hotel event frame a broad, date-stamped social record.
