“If from cherished child
hood scenes
Fate and fortune have
brought you here,
And your heart still home
ward leans;
Remember — New friends
with time grow dear.
Your joys, your sorrows are
of ours a part,
So, help us to know you
that we may share
This experience of Life,
with open heart;
Welcome Neighbor! We’re
glad you are here.”

But, the world could be a rather
dull, cold planet, without the out
reach of friendliness, or the
revitalizing rays of sunshine,
which have been caressing it
since its inception some five
billion years ago, (according to
some geologists).
In any event, we are happy
to present Mr. and Mrs. Bruce
Blankenberg, and children, Deb
bie 2 1/2, and Randy 4, who
have recently arrived from New
ark, N; J. to reside at 5160 Da
vid Circle, S. W.
Mrs. Blankenberg, is a native
of Buffalo, N. Y., but spent her
childhood in Waterloo, N. Y.
Homemaking is her prime in
terest, with cooking as her most
enjoyable “labor of love”; and
she finds bowling a relaxing ho
bby.
Mr. Blankenberg, a Newark,
N. J. native, is production fore
man of Mobil Chemical Company.
Golf and hunting top the list of
his hobbies.
The Blankenbergs are Luther
ans, and are extended a cordial
welcome in the church of their
choice; the younger married set;
and various circles in the life of
the community, of which they
have chosen to become a part.
There will be a General Meet
ing of the W.M.S. of the First
Baptist Church on Monday night,
