Celebrating eight years
GAIL ANN HUMPHRIES is eight years of age today when she celebrates her second birthday. Born February 29, 1952, Gail Ann is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernray Humphries, 306 S. Second, Tonkawa and is a second grader at Washington Elementary school. Gail’s second anniversary will be celebrated quietly this year, however, as she is just recovering from a bout with measles.
