Adopt-A-Grandparent program connects volunteers with seniors
A snippet notes Julie Hignite, 16, in Milford, cherishing her grandmotherhood role, while volunteers are urged to contact Marjorie Manharth at the Senior Services office 752-0580. The Adopt-A-Grandparent effort, begun January 1974, is funded by United Aone and county commissioners to pair grandfathers with grandsons and other seniors.
