School’s out for summer

By Diane Basden

Quinton Schools have dismissed for summer vacation.

There was a Mother’s Day party for the residents at Quinton Manor on May 9.

We thank Lucy Sherwood for providing the pretty Mother’s Day balloons.

The oldest mother at Quinton Manor is Grace Edwards, 102.

Everyone calls her “Amazing Grace.”

Happy 57th wedding anniversary to Dale and Carolyn Eakle on May 6.

Congratulations on Jerry and Linda Basden on their recent marriage.

Happy birthday to Don Eakle, Dale Lee Eakle, Sam Basden, Billy Joe Tucker, Eloise Clayton, Opal Gragg, Audra Harvey, and Alice Clifton.

The Quinton First Baptist Church will hold services Sunday at Quinton Manor. The Pentecostal Holiness Church will hold service the fourth Sunday at Quinton Manor.
