Seats were in short supply at the Perry Perk coffeehouse Wednesday morning when Ken Finer of Perry, longtime Perry High School teacher and charter member of the Society of Retired Educators (SORE), treated his friends to coffee and cinnamon rolls for his birthday.
Friends came and went through the course of the celebration. Among the many joining Ken at the big table were Andrew Bambrick, Ray Harden, Dan Spellman, Doug Latham, Jim George, Jay Pattee, Lou Hoger, Dwayne Hochhalter, Bill Joy, Roger Emmert, Delbert Sheeder, Bob Rounds, Jim Haas, Charlie Thompson, Dean Stumbo, Gordon Klatt and many others.
