Wes and Jen Claassen had the pleasure of watching their daughter, Lauren, become the Distinguished Young Woman of LaCrosse Saturday at the program in Colfax. Lauren’s grandparents, Darrel and LaRae Claassen, Dusty; her brother Bo, home from Boise State, and the rest of her family were there to support her. She will compete in the state competition in Pullman, Aug. 6.

Linda Hennigar and Jim Moore attended the funeral for Hennigar's aunt, Dorothy Haugeness, 97, in Boise March 16. Another niece, Dave and Elaine Stueckle Hogan of Richland, also drove to Boise for the services.

Art and Colene Sager flew to Mesa last Saturday to attend a Flying Farmers event. The “meet and greet” was at the home of Andy and Sheila Slinkard. Later, the group carpooled to the Country Mercantile for lunch.

Denise Kendall, Tacoma, spent last weekend at the home of her father, Oscar Broeckel.

Last Friday, Karen Broeckel met her great-great-niece, Murphy Jeanette Nolan, at Whitman Hospital and Medical Center. Murphy was born March 17, St. Patrick's Day, at eight pounds, 15 ounces. She is the daughter of Andrew and Emily Nolan of Colfax. She has a big sister, Lauren, and two big brothers, Grady and Holden.
