AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT the office of Bates County Clerk Jami Page in the administration building on the southwest corner of the Butler square (formerly Jennings grocery store) is the same physical location where her grandmother Violet Hafer (inset) served as a meat cutter in the grocery store for some 25 years. Along with this tidbit of trivia comes an honor, as Violet is preparing to celebrate her 90th birthday on September 28th and a card shower is requested. Send to Violet Hafer, 400 S. Delaware St. Apt H3, Butler, Mo 64730
