Christmas in Dusty

DUSTY — Dick and Helen Appel had a very quiet Christmas.

Only two families — Bruce and Elaine Appel, Charlie and Spenser of Spokane; and Caroline and Rob Kunkel, Zach, Kade, Elly and Luciene, all of Pullman — brought Christmas dinner to the grandparents.

While it was mostly quiet here, the Lynch family did receive good news this week.

Susan and Joe Lynch had baby girl No. 4, Bridget Joy.

She weighed 9 pounds, 1 ounce and was 21 inches long, with a lot of blonde hair.

She joins sisters Cecilia, Abagail and Lillian. Sue and Joe live in Lafayette, Ind., where Joe does research at Perdue University.

In other local news this week, Country Bible Church, 23552 state Highway 127, resumed services this past Sunday.

Tom Riedner gave the sermon.
