Hills local news

That one is of Mark Top who moved from his home at 405 South Main to the residence he bought at the east side of Hills on Highway 27, the home originally built for Milton and Evelyn Anderson. The residence on South Main is for sale. Sheldon and Ellie Sandager returned home after four weeks, having driven 5,000 miles and visiting friends and relatives. They made stops in Buellton, Livermore and Healdsburg, Calif., which is in the wine growing region of the Sonoma Valley. They visited their daughter, Beth, now attending college at Santa Rosa studying the Spanish language. On their return they stayed at Lake Havasu, Ariz., to spend a couple of days with Claude and Verna Van Driel and then on to Albuquerque, N.M.
