We have received numerous reports that the PUC Board has approved the sale of the College Market, Angwin's only grocery store and hardware. The College has not made an official announcement and the chairman of the Board refuses to answer questions.

The report is that the market will be open on Sabbaths if the new owner wishes, and that he may stock anything he wishes. If that materializes, a number of local Adventists are bound to be upset. But again, the chairman of the Board is not talking, so this is all still in the rumor stage. Stay tuned.

Lois Berry saw a lot of history. Through it all, she was a humanitarian beginning with her days as a pre-nursing student at Pacific Union College and and for decades thereafter, serving people one on one as a nurse. Even before that, because just as a youngster, she was helping her father, a doctor in Healdsburg.

Lois and her husband had no children of her own but through the years they were foster parents to many and she was Aunt Lois, and Great Aunt Lois and Great Great Aunt Lois to a total of 150 others.

More than 40 antique automobile owners brought their cars to Angwin recently for our First Annual Car Show. It was held in conjunction with the annual Flea Market, sponsored by the Angwin Volunteer Fire Department.

The beautifully restored autos proved a popular attraction.

Twelve of the models were shown off by Angwin residents. The others came from as far away as Rohnert Park. Here's your bouquet for the day.
