Willy and Linda Lies of Fargo were Tuesday visitors at the Sandy Lies farm. Evening found the Lies' treating Shirley Packard to supper at the Rockford Cafe. Later they were guests at Shirley’s. Wednesday Shirley hosted a luncheon with guests. The Lies', Calvin Packard, Ervin Longnecker and Charlotte Koepplin. The occasion being a special delivery to Ervin of a picture of the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. Willy and Linda had been on vacation and visited at the Billy Womacks home at Virginia Beach. The picture was expertly taken and put together by Bill’s daughter, Flo, an avid photographer, and was meant to be given to Ervin, a WWII vet and one time visitor to the Memorial.

A-ha! The special picture hooked a ride with the Lies' as they continued their vacation and logged more than a thousand miles on its trek that ended Tuesday at the Packard home where the Lies' placed it in Ervin’s hands and relayed messages from Bill Womacks and family. You can be sure all enjoyed visiting over Shirley’s fine lunch and hearing about the Lies' interesting trip to the East Coast. Willy and Linda returned to their home in Fargo later Tuesday.
