Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA I by Andy McNelis We at Branch 34 hope everyone had a happy and safe Easter. Winter had its last hold on the northeast (I hope) the week before Easter. Soon the sun will be shining and we will be thinking of far-away places like Akron, Ohio, New Brunswick, N.J., Indiana, PA, and Penn Scenic View. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at one or more of the events scheduled for this year. They are special times to visit with our old and dear friends and meet new ones. So keep your eyes on the William Penn Life for detailed information of this year's activities. Happy Mothers day to all mothers, mothers-to-be and grandmothers. We are sure that your day will be full of sunshine and laughter. Remember, without your mother you would not be reading this article, so do something special for her.
