The latest newsletter is listed first in the archive and continues to the earliest one.

Just a few short months ago, Esther Hofferbert was seriously injured in an automobile accident marking a low point in her life.

Today, she has fully recovered and Ann Ledbetter informs us that tomorrow (Saturday) she will mark a high point in her life.

Ann reports:

"Esther Hofferbert of Paintersville/Eleazer church will be inducted into the Greene County Hall of Fame Saturday 26 at the Walnut Creek Country Club on the Dayton-Xenia Road. The awards program follows lunch"
