HIBBING â Joe Berklich told the Mesabi Tribune a few months ago the ages of his four children. Michael is 73, Danny is 69, Timmy is 63, and Mary Scofield, my baby, she s 58. He added with his usual humor, Then there s me â 65!
Berklich s spoofing was off by just a few decades. The good-natured Hibbing World War II veteran turns 100 on Wednesday, February 24, and family members, special guests and many veterans will take part in a birthday drive-by celebration past his house on Sixth Avenue East.
Part of the momentous event will be this message from his daughter Mary and great-granddaughter Paige. Mary wrote: I always wished that my father would add to his title of Son, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather âGreat-Great-Grandfather. My wish has come true. And Paige wrote, Happy 100th Birthday, Grandpa Joe! We love you and wish we could be with you on your special day! We hope that come September you will be ready to meet your great-great-grandchild!!
Ash Wednesday Mass at Milwaukee church adapted for the times with sprinkled ashes, pandemic precautions Sophie Carson, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The start of the Lenten season began Wednesday with a sign of the times.
Instead of ashes spread in a cross on parishioners foreheads, the Rev. Mark Payne at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church on Milwaukee s south side sprinkled a pinch over their heads.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee asked churches to distribute ashes that way to minimize the spread of the coronavirus at the typically popular Ash Wednesday services. Parishioners at Blessed Sacrament said it was an easy change that allowed them to participate in a beloved annual tradition with a sense of some normalcy.
