We were happy to find out that graduation had these twins. stopped in Mason City for dinner, we inquired about who worked there for the Concrete Company. we were surprised to hear that he had married the daughter of his boss and was now pouring cement for their new home in Mason City. We at last came to our new home in Seneca, Iowa. I am sure we will be very hapny but still I shall not forget our dear old days in Vest Vend High School.
