Smile! We’re SPJST!

Wild Art
These beautiful poppy paintings are the work of Henrietta Milan of Lodge 154, Fort Worth. Although she usually works in much larger sizes, she generously donated these smaller canvases for the Czech Heritage Museum gift shop. Call the museum at 254-899-2935 if you are interested in purchasing one of these paintings. Poppies are always a Czech favorite, but the current commemoration of the World War I centennial makes them especially sentimental.
Justin Kraatz of Lodge 47, Seaton graduated from U.S. Army Basic Combat Training on Friday, April 5, 2018, at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He is pictured with his proud parents Joyce and Brad Kraatz, both of Lodge 47, Seaton.
