The Circle of Life!

Sue Cornwall brought over the clip from the Church News with Helen's 100th birthday greeting - I had sent in the info for them to do it, so I was glad to see it got there!  

I left the page sitting on my desk, and later Harry told me "See the man at the bottom, Elden L. Ord, well, he was the first president of the Covina Stake, which was formed in 1956.  And my mom was a member of that stake when it was taken from the Pasadena Stake in '56."

I'm pretty sure that when Helen sat in the meeting forming the new stake she wasn't thinking that in 59 years she'd be sharing billing with the new Stake President on the Centenarians list!

But it is a nice coincidence I think!!

A little news from the past!

Not sure why finding this clipping was so very fun for me.  I don't think I've ever seen it - but it has obviously been around for awhile!!

Click on it to enlarge and then read it - the year was 1940!!

(And I confess to a bout of frustration with my scanner! We do what we can!)
