The Luverne High School 1947 classmates lunch group held their October luncheon at The Camellia House Bed & Breakfast on Thursday Oct. 14.

Everyone gathered in the living room and library area and visited before lunch. Ms. Kathy Dowdy, owner and hostess, served a delicious full course meal at 11:30 a.m.

The dinning tables were beautiful decorated with tablecloths woven of colorful fall leaves that also held centerpieces of fall arrangements.

After the meal, Ms. Kathy entertained the group by playing the piano and singing several songs. She also gave the group a special tour of the renovated Douglas Home. This was a special treat for some of the classmates who had not had a chance to visit The Camellia House since it was purchased by Tim and Cathy Dowdy.

Classmates in attendance included, Adine Moseley, Sara Kirkland, Wilma Cook, Marion Ballard, Susan Borom, Ramona Barrow, Margaret Petrey, Margaret Nichols, Mattie Pearl Sport, Florence Jeffcoat, Louise Morgan and Edna Norsworthy.

The Nov. 11 luncheon will be a Thanksgiving covered dish held in the Meadowcrest Community room.
