Herman, NE Friday, June 30, 2017 Arlene was a special lady. We worked together for years at the St Peter's food stand at the Dodge County fair. She always served the BBQ beef sandwiches. Later when I retired from teaching she suggested I might like to join the quilting ladies group at church. I enjoyed those afternoons tying quilts for Orphan Grain Train. We shared a teaching background also. I will miss her. SallyCreative Notions
