I accompanied Selma Ingram to Hillsboro April 25 where she applied for a job at Parkside Homes. We also did some shopping. Helen Ambrey, a nurse at Parkside, took us on a tour of the nursing area, House Four, and House Five. It truly is beautiful. She also introduced us to two residents who I happened to remember from several years back.
Bob Reznicek accompanied his brother, John and Helen Reznicek of Marion to Mulvane April 25 where they attended the confirmation of Megan Torline, daughter of John and Lori Torline of Derby at St. Michael Catholic Church. Mary Loewen of Hillsboro was her sponsor. Charles and Mary Loewen were at the confirmation and they joined Bob, John, and Helen and other relatives and friends for pie and coffee at Derby afterward.
