of the vows the group sang for their supper, ate cake and the
children of the Jayroes presented them with a suitcase full of
things they would need for a seven-day Caribbean cruise. As they left the celebration they got
into their car that had been decorated with signs and cans by
their grandson, Little Jimmie from Kansas. They then dragged up
and down Main Street as they did some 50 years ago. Jane (Gable) Jayroe lived in Dawson as
