Yes, Mrs. Spaziano,
there really is a Bridgette
Correale. All 150 pounds,
give or take many pounds.
This dear woman
approached me and asked,
“Do the things you write
about really happen or do
you make them up?’ My
husband and friends will
swear under oath,
influence of liquor and so
on, that I really am a srew
ball.
Belated birthday
greetings to one of Gate of
Heaven’s most dedicated
teachers, Mrs. Betty Rees
who celebrated her
birthday Dec. 20.
Sorry to learn that Ed
Belasco is a little under the
weather, but hope he will
be up and about soon.

Congratulations to
Marianne and Jack Cleary
who will honor a wedding
anniversary Dec. 23.
One of the highlights of
the Christmas season is the
Christmas play presented
by Gate of Heaven’s first
graders. There are angels,
toy soldiers, elves, dolls,
kings, frosty the snowman
and of course Santa and
Mrs. Clause. I'm sure I'm
speaking for all the proud
parents and relatives of
these beautiful children
when I say, ‘‘A very special
thank you to Sister
Evangelist and Mrs. Rees
for their patience and
love.”
I'll bet my last dollar,
which incidentally will be
coming up shortly with this
Christmas shopping, that
in Binghamton, N.Y.
The womens society of
the Idetown Methodist
Church was host for the
choir Christmas party held
at the church house last
Sunday afternoon. The
cantata was given in the
evening.
A very successful
Christmas party was held
on Sunday afternoon at the
Idetown J.R. Davis fire
hall for the children of the
community. Santa was
present to distribute gifts
and a lunch was served
after a kiddie film was
enjoyed by all.
The women of the
Lehman Charge enjoyed a
very lovely Christmas
party last Thursday night
at the Lehman Church
social room.
The M.Y.F. of the
Idetown U.M. Church
enjoyed an old fashioned
Christmas caroling on Sat.
night. Refreshments were
served late in the church
house while caroling they
delivered cans of cookies to
the elderly shutins.
The childrens program of
the United Methodist
Church was held Sunday
night. The children did
very well.
one of Lake-Lehman’s fifth
grade class is as sad as I
am to know that their
terrific teacher Julie
Iwanowski is a medical
patient = at Nesbitt
Memorial Hospital.
Prayers for a speedy
recovery.
Elaine Mattioli enjoyed
her birthday with a party
for several of her friends,
Dec. 20.
When I first met Mr.
Donachie, I knew at once
what a bright star he is.
Little did I realize that
some 40 years ago, Mr.
Donachie was already
shining. Last week’s
edition of the Post, ‘Only
Yesterday,’ I read that Mr.
Donachie was a member of
the football all stars. P.S. I
bet he can still tackle a few
anythings and anybodies.
A reminder...Although
the Catholic Youth Center,
Wilkes-Barre will be in
session the Gate of Heaven
bus will not be operating,
Saturday Dec. 27.
Birthday greetings to
Paige Belasco who will be
opening birthday presents
this week.
Not only does the Lake-
Lehman Christmas Queen
Laurie Dockeray reside in
our neighborhood, so does
Diane Godleski a runner-
up. I keep telling you what
beautiful people live in Oak
Hill.
Another beauty, Kathy
Schleich will combine
Christmas and her
birthday, Dec. 25. Happy
birthday.
To the Mrs. Spazianos’,
The Donachies’, The Jean
Marie Ashes’, The Ronny
Ritts’, The Ray
Iwanowskis’, The Tom
Smiths’, The Walter
Weirs’, The charming lady
in the grey hat and the
many other readers who
said in one way or another,
‘‘thank you for this
column,” I wish you, my
friends, neighbors,
commares e’ compares
and all our readers a Merry
Christmas a very Happy
and Holy New Year...with
love Bridgette.
