OLD-TIMERS TALKING, the chat group for seniors, meets 2:00 Fri., Feb. 20, in the meeting room. This time we'll be talking about the neighbors, reflecting on what these relationships have meant to us over the years, sharing good times and bad, helping each other when the going gets tough. Celebrating accomplishments, new babies, prayed-for rain. Pictured here is a birthday party shared with neighborhood kids in the Belfry school district in NE Allen County c. 1952; it was also a welcome social event for all the moms. Times have changed: many of us do not know our next-door neighbor; in the country, neighbors are far fewer and farther away. Television came into our living rooms around this time. Just think of all the sitcoms that revolved around neighbors--Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton, Lucy and Ethel, etc. -- Colleen
