Blanche Weinberger started the New Year right
— with a festive birthday brunch erev Rosh
Hashona and the arrival of dear friend Fania Feder
from Sao Paolo, Brazil. The visit and birthday
initiated a series of lunches and dinners, a first-
time Cowboy football game for the visiting Brazil-
ian and even a short sojourn down to Austin.
Topping it all though, was the October 10th cel-
ebration at the Hotel Crescent Court feting both
husband, Sol and friend, Fania, on their birthdays
plus brother and sister-in-law, Frank and Dorothy
Kassed on their 63rd wedding anniversary.
