Drive-by birthday greetings

Friends, family and members of the Carlton Fire Department wished Gordy Davis a happy 92nd birthday in a pandemic-appropriate manner this year. Friends and family brought lawn chairs and sat outside, but distanced from each other. His wife Lillian joined him. Firefighters from Carlton, where Davis volunteered for more than 20 years and served as chief for a few years, drove by with sirens and horns blowing while Car's Towing even towed an old-model car, followed by grandchildren and great-grandchildren in their cars honking, waving, and yelling birthday wishes. They topped off the grand event with desserts.
