Sto Lat, Anne!

Anne Barberi waves happily at friends in the parade for her 100th birthday on June 13. A balloon-decorated tractor led the big parade past her house on Hale Street, with police cars, four ambulances, the SFD tower truck, and about 20 private cars. Some of the signs read STO LAT, a Polish birthday greeting particularly appropriate for Anne. Because of the pandemic, the planned large party had been cancelled, but about two dozen friends and family were there to share.
