We are introducing a new section called, “Remember When”. We asked the residents this question: “What was your first car?”
Bethel T. said: “I lived in Miles, Iowa. I drove a 1939 Chevy. It was gray in color. I brought it up to Shaub’s Garage to get it greased and oiled. I liked my Chevy!”
(We want to thank Bethel for sharing her memories of “years past” with us. Hopefully, Bethel’s tales will bring some smiles to your face, as you read this article.)
Thank you again for entrusting us with the care of your loved ones and for your support. It is an honor to serve you. Wishing for you and yours, safe travels and a happy life.
