10 Years Ago March 8 1997 It was rare enough when four ladies walked into Breading's Cigar Store for lunch. But even more out of the ordinary was the tablecloth and flowers that adorned their table. The momentous occasion grew from a fundraiser auction at Sacred Heart School when Dr. Steve Grossnickle paid $260 for lunch for four at Breadings. The event was a surprise birthday luncheon for Carol Clay. Attending the luncheon were Dr. Steve and Lori Grossnickle, Peggy Sawyer, Carol and John Clay and Lois and Chuck Niemier. 25 Years Ago March 8 1982 Potpourri - According to a recent report from a very good source, Kosciusko County Court Judge James Jarrette has a little problem with concentration occasionally while at work in his office.
