Ken and Sylvia Byars enjoyed a visit from their daughter Rachel and three teenage grandkids from Alaska.

Patty Chase had a nice visit with Albert and Cookie (Wiley) Gakstatter from Warsaw, Indiana a couple of weeks ago while they were in the county on business and pleasure.
Roy and Bonnie Duckworth visited the Marc Duckworth family Saturday in Independence, Kentucky and spent time with baby Maggie Ann. Big sister Dorothy and big brother John were really happy to welcome her home. I need to correct a misprint. Bonnie and Roy Duckworth were married 38 years instead of 30. They told me it didn’t add up because their kids are older than that.
Casey Rininger attended the Bengals game in Cincinnati with family and friends.
