Eighty-seven-year-old Rudy Anderson has earned the privelege of sacking out for a snooze in the middle of the Old Fashioned Senior Picnic held at Five Mile Lake County Park Thursday. He had just finished a lunch of barbecued hamburger and the Navy Band of Seattle had begun to play. Hundreds of seniors from around the area attended and activities included games and drawings as well.
