Family Reunion

One of the happiest affairs of the season was a joint birthday dinner and family reunion given in celebration of the eightieth birthday of Grandma Longan at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Walter Bluejacket, Sunday, June 11. At the noon hour a spacious table was spread on the lawn, where baskets of choice food was spread. Several fine cakes were baked in honor of her birthday.
