Thank you to Miss Daniels' 3rd-grade class at Ada Elementary for sharing their letters to Santa. There will be two more installments. Today we have letters from Lilly, Eastlyn, Noah, Decker, Lukeus, Carmine and Maverick.

Dear Santa, 

How many cookies do you eat during Christmas Eve? I’m so excited for Christmas this year with my family.

Ron and Patsy Evans will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on Dec. 23. The couple was married in 1955 at the First United Methodist Church of Ada.  After their wedding, they went to the Kewpee in Lima, Ohio, and had hamburgers.

Patsy graduated from Ada High School, and Ron graduated from Vaughnsville. He worked at ONU as a math professor and she worked as a Head Start teacher and then as an assistant at Snyder, Alge and Welch law firm in Ada.
