Friendly Faces
Hello,
I’m Solo. I’m an English Lab. In my younger years I loved
hiking and swimming and being with other dogs as much as
possible. The dog park on the river and the field behind my
house were favorites. Nowadays I am a bit slower and love
my afternoon naps but I still love having buddies over to
play! I started my career in school to be a service dog and,
well, let’s just say that didn’t work out (insert eye roll here)
because they say I’m too “alpha”. It all ended well since I
found my forever family! If you haven’t seen me yet, you
will likely see me following around a blonde lady or behind
the front desk. If I nudge you I am just hoping you’d like to
pet me for a while. I’m quiet and not very fast these
days. Did I mention, I am a senior too! 84 in human
years! By the way my companion is case manager
Julie Larson who enjoys having me at work.

Verona Senior Center
Saturday, April 13 at 10:00 AM
On the corner of Nine Mound Road and
Aspen Avenue sits a little farm house that
today is enveloped by a typical Verona
neighborhood. One might not realize that
just a generation ago that house, now
surrounded closely by neighboring homes,
stood alone on that spot surrounded by
nothing but farm fields, trees, and a few farm
buildings. This was the farm house of the
"Maple Drive Dairy"!
Our guests will be Lorlene (Kahl) Pulver and
Lyn (Kahl) Elver, who both grew up in that
house and helped with the operations of
their father Vernon's farm and dairy, bottling
milk as children. The farm was originally
bought by their grandfather Chris Kahl
around 1900 and was renamed to the "Maple
Drive Dairy" by Vernon in the 1940s. Cows
were milked, and that milk was delivered by
truck to homes in Verona. Lorlene and Lyn
will talk about their experiences growing up
on the farm, and what the milk business
meant for their family and Verona.
