Happy 85th Birthday, Stan!

Thea Clennon, 10 Happy birthday on September 22!

Robert Carney, 90

If you hear a lot of noise on Sept. 22, it will be E. Stan Wodarcak catching up with his friends and classmates, by celebrating the milestone of his 85th birthday!

Some will remember him as “Elmer” from kindergarten at the old Wilson school, and years later, as a Mason City High School graduate, Class of 1944. He obtained his B.A. from Mason City Junior College, enjoying friendships, good times as a Trojan cheerleader, singing with the Buccaneers quartet, and playing on the basketball team.

After years in the travel business, he chose to return to his roots. You can soften the blow of this “big day” by sending him greetings at: 839 Sixth St. S.W. #4, Mason City, IA 50401.
