Birthday Party Spread Across Many Gatherings
A lively note of community life held throughout the area describes dozens of visits, dinners, suppers, and birthday celebrations. Jane Torkelson marked her fourth birthday with playmates while friends and relatives visited homes in West Union and Cedar Falls. Multiple birthday parties, dinners, and weekend visits involve the Schori, Halverson, Pulfer, Johnson, and Moore families, with guests from Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Clinton, and beyond. A final thanks from Bert Thoman extends appreciation to neighbors and friends.
