My Take:
Congratulations to the Scholarship recipients !
Hannah Cherry was such a nice lady, who really loved my homemade black raspberry jam. I made sure she was the first person to get a jar, every year. She was such a sweet and gracious lady, and will be sorely missed. RIP, Mrs. Cherry !
On a side note, I might not be covering some meetings, as my old Buick fell apart on Calumet Avenue by Hammond High, this morning. I have to depend on rides, for the time being. I want to also thank the two young men from HHS, who helped me. It was most appreciated, as I was bringing my grandson home from Head Start, when the Buick went kaput. THANK YOU,GUYS !!!
