Around Town for Dec. 10

Happy birthday Sunday to Zachary, we miss you and glad we got to see you … Happy birthday Saturday to Ashley Ruffin, Sunday to Yolanda Pham and Monday to Paulette Skinner from family, friends and Ira … Congratulations to our newest, youngest and prettiest engineer of the family — 23-year-old Ayana P. Allen (daughter of Phillip Allen and Jewel Howard Smith) — for obtaining your bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering today from Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge (Ayanna is also a MCHS class of 2016 honor graduate), with love and may the good Lord continue to bless you, all your family and friends.
