by helen reynolds society editor Mrs. L. R. Mather, 934 Andres Ave., says a visit from her three grandchildren while she was convalescing at Doctors' Hospital probably sent her off laughing to recovery more than anything else. Her daughter, Nancy (Mrs. Ronald) Hedlund, brought her three little ones, Brenda Sue, 5; Michale, 4 and Julie, 2, visiting one day. Brenda Sue was dressed as a nurse complete with starched cap; Mike and Julie were swathed from head to toe in bandages plus splints on arms or legs.
