Bro. Petie Ward took his wife Laura to Baptist Medical Center in Arkadelphia early Sunday morning (5:00). A big, beautiful, bouncing boy was born. His name is Jarrod Wayne and he weighed in at 9 pounds and four ounces and was 21 inches long. Other than family those who went from Rosston were Brenda and Johnny Jensen and Joey and Ellen Wallace. Roscoe and I went after the baby was born. Baby brother P.J. is real proud of him along with proud dad and mom.

Roscoe and I attended Gertie East's funeral in Camden Monday morning and I'm sure others from Rosston attended.
