It’s a small world! A small reunion took place quite by accident today at Joe’s Inn in Bon Air when Ricky Dodson, Wendy Daffron Henley, and Valerie Dalton Acosta were seated next to Reps and Robert Haskins. Great to see one another and catch up.

Join these folks and more on Sunday at 2 pm at Antonio’s in Chester for another “reunion”.
