Hi Folks, It's gonna be a little quieter on the list for the next few days. Yup, big mouth here (me) is getting ready for our son's wedding on Saturday. Out of town guests are starting to arrive (we had a big surprise for my husband last night -- his brother flew in from Seattle...hasn't been here in 9 years!) Needless to say, I won't be able to send out the news or the trivia questions because of all of this. I hope to be back online by early next week. I'm really gonna miss you all! There will be a piece of my day missing for the next few days. I appreciate your understanding. Here's more "Local Items" from the 19 March 1942 Altoona Tribune: Miss Frances Dodge, who formerly was employed at the Sacred Heart hospital in Eau Claire, left last week from Billingham, Wash., after spending a week with her mother, Mrs. Doris Dodge, Garfield Ave. Mrs. Dodge accompanied her daughter to St. Paul and returned Thursday evening. Mrs. George Holden of Lake Altoona, while enjoying a three handed game of pinochle with Mr. and Mrs. "Pump" Anderson at their home at the Lake, was dealt 1,000 aces in one hand, Thursday evening. The G. I. A. to B. of L. E. held their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. Grace LaPage, Division St., last Thursday afternoon. After the business meeting cards were enjoyed and a tasty lunch was served. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Frazer, Daniels Ave., spent last Thursday with relatives and friends in Minneapolis. Mrs. M.
