Letter: Cooks at Circle R

Robert Johnson writes:
I would like to thank the organizers of the Trabue Russell House Annual Soup and Sandwich Luncheon for including a picture and name of my mother, Mrs. Doris Johnson, in the display about the Circle R Restaurant.

My mother worked at the restaurant for many years as a cook, and I would like to think that she played a small role in the near legendary status of the great food and service that could be enjoyed at the Circle R. Of course, all of the kids and extended family members knew how awesome her cooking skills were. After all, she received her tutelage as a young girl under the watchful eye of my grandmother, Mrs. Queenia Burton, a legendary cook in her own right, and through the number of restaurants she worked at while raising a family. Thank you.

Pigeon saw Community Medical welcome sign

By Linda Waggener with Trilby Vance

On a recent Monday morning an employee of Community Medical Services on Bomar Heights reported having seen a pigeon on the grass between the nursing home and their building that didn't seem able to fly.

John Tupman was Handy so he took a look, wondering if the bird might be injured because it didn't fly away as he moved closer to it. He spotted a band with a microchip on it. Turned out the pigeon was not injured, just obviously a pet, comfortable around humans.

The identification numbers listed a pigeon club with an ID - in Baltimore, Maryland.
