Virginia Barbeau, Dixie Meyer, Gertie Lasch & Germaine Wiegand have their say . . .

June 8, 2011

They spoke of sweethearts off to war, they spoke of a tough economy and of tight housing. While such a discussion could be heard anywhere today, this one occurred recently around a dining table at Laurel Grove Assisted Living Center with Germaine Wiegand, Dixie Meyer, Gertie Lasch and Virginia Barbeau . . . all 89 and 90 years old. What they had to say echoes current discussion topics and yet differs since they had not only been there, they survived. Today’s discussion questions included make-up, dating and work and took some interesting paths.
