Monroe News Pre Christmas Dinner Highlights Local Ties
A pre Christmas dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy White in Bon Durant honored their son Craig who leaves for England to serve three years in the Air Force. The gathering included extended family and friends from Monroe, Prairie City, Carrollton, and Des Moines, plus a Navy lieutenant visiting from Vietnam era assignments. Other notes mention church youth activities, birthdays, service moves, and local club leadership, with notices of residents entering military service and a Clyde Fouch funeral.
