TURKEY SURPRISE

Many years ago, Rose Sepulvado Wanat celebrated Thanksgiving with her mother, Christina, in Zwolle.  Rose and her husband, John, and children were traveling in a station wagon.  They departed from Christina’s house, forgetting a turkey her mother had for them.  When Christina realized they left the turkey, she had her daughter, Margie Rivers, call another daughter, Verna Ebarb, who lived along the highway and she flagged Rose and family down.  They returned to get the turkey and were surprised to be handed a live turkey.
