Bob and I attended the joint meal of the local VFW and Legion posts at the Syrause Country Club Sunday evening. The food was catered by Valentino's out of Nebraska City, and was "all you could eat". Great food, fun conversations, and great entertainment! Thanks to the VFW for hosting this year.

NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO

Friday, 1-23-1925, The Otoe Union:

Folks were excited about the upcoming eclipse. Most men were reported cutting wood or hunting wolves. The Unadilla town basketball team defeated the Syracuse Do Drop Inn team, and the next night beat the Dunbar All Stars team. (The temperature then was about what it is now!)
