10 Years Ago

December 21 1997

    Ten years ago, Marcia Adams, of Winona Lake, was a weekly food columnist for the Times-Union.

Today, Marcia Adams of Fort Wayne has published six cookbooks during the past eight years, her latest cookbook, "New Recipes from Quilt Country," released in October.

25 Years Ago

December 21 1982

    They didn't have a sleigh or reindeer, but Jerry Scholdroth and Joan Taylor packed up their van recently with gifts collected by the Mental Health Association for delivery to patients at the Bowen Center and resident of local nursing homes. About 600 gifts were donated by local organizations and individuals for the annual Mental Health Association drive. An additional 200 were taken to the Fort Wayne State Hospital.


50 Years Ago

December 21 1957

    Women of the Moose held formal initiation for five new members: Mrs. Samuel Neher, Mrs. Ivan Neher, Dorothy Landis, Helen Grow and Evelyn Kinsey at the lodge home.

Sandy and Lynn Adkinson sang Christmas carols and Mrs. Robert Orcutt appeared as Santa Claus. The attendance prize went to Mrs. Carl Bolinger.

75 Years Ago

December 21 1932

    A few days ago, Roy E.K. Bowen, Warsaw mail carrier, picked up a letter on North Detroit Street addressed to Santa Claus, at the North Pole. A day or two later the boy who "mailed" the letter said to Bowen, "Say has my letter gone to Santa Claus yet at the North Pole? If not, give it back to me and I will take it to the Warsaw fire station. I think I'll do better there." This happened shortly after the boy had visited the fire station where toys are being collected for distribution to Warsaw children who otherwise would not be remembered on Christmas.
