popular gentleman at Milstead, was the central figure at a
surprise birthday dinner celebrating his 83rd birthday on
April 12.

The people around the
Community Center say the same thing, because of his faithful
years of service in keeping order and peace at the Community
Center. All the boys and girls love and respect Uncle Jim.
