There were ten of'us there and we decorated the tables and got all our stuff together. To Alma Nil- son to dinner and then to Chapter. We had a good crowd and every- thing went off well.

How is everyone doing staying home during this COVID-J crisis? just read that the country's death toll is over 10,000. In the United States was dealing with WWII, TB, polio and bounc- ing back from the Great Depression. Staying home will slow this ci— rus down while they are working on a vaccine and a successfizl treat- ment. Be positive, pull out the old parlor games and wait patiently for this to pass.
