Double surprise

Talk about surprised! Much-heralded community volunteer Sandy M. Cimino, vice president of Ouachita Independent Bank-Bossier Branch, was surprised twice Sunday, her birthday.

Cimino is shown with Gary Hairston, in an photo e-mailed by Marilyn Curry. Hairston and fellow employees surprised her Sunday with flowers and lunch at Margarita Cafe. Others who shared the moment: Taylor Hairston and Taylor Collins, Ronnie and Charlotte Evans, Marilyn Curry, Kem Grappe and Steve and Rhonda Arnold.

But the day wasn’t over. Later in the afternoon, Randy James and Angie Teagle did it again with a do at Superior Bar & Grill. And here there were, oh, yes, dinner, gifts and friends. Among the celebrators: Ken and Kathryn Antee, Randy and Susan McFarland, Carlton Hamm, Bonne Summers, Mike and Carolyn Carrier, Joyce and Taylor Brown Linda Lee, Henry Grabener and Gene Bozeman.
