Seniors by the Wayside has a very interesting, historical presentation for our April program. Our speaker, Harold Billow, is a World War II veteran and will share with us his experiences as an artillery observer during the latter months of the War. Harold, age 94, lives in Mount Joy and is an acquaintance of Judy Kline. He served from 1943 to 1947 with the U.S. Army's 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion, Battery B. 
 
Our Senior group meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 12 noon over a brown bag lunch in Wayside's church Atrium to hear invited speakers on various topics. We will provide the beverages. While we focus on the interest of senior adults, we have no age limit and persons of all ages are welcome at these meetings!
