New Year Flight and Dallas Parade Visit
On New Year’s Day in Dallas the Molden hauver family and Jackie Miller joined an Astrojet 727 flight from Chicago, enjoying beef straganoff, fruit salad and cake on board. They watched the Cotton Bowl parade downtown, noted bands from multiple states, and marveled at the Iowa and Harlan bands. Traditional black eyed peas with salt pork were served for luck, with two grandchildren sharing their first plane trip and a long-awaited Spring promise after frost.
