This summer she moved the restaurant from the old shopping mall on Main Street to Esterbrook Drive, with a banquet hall known as The Gathering Place. Her daughter, Lacey Patterson, works full-time and grandson, Joshua, works part-time. One wall of the restaurant is dominated by a mural collaged together by David Butler and printed in Indianapolis showing scenes of North Webster’s history. 25 Years Ago Priscilla Knoble, a Grace College student who was born and raised in Japan, was a guest last week of Mary Ettinger and Nancy Shoemaker at Lincoln School.
