were warm wishes inside the Postville Courthouse on Saturday.
Community members gathered to honor the birthday of the man who
shares his

Period music and instruments were explained by
Mike Anderson.
Anderson plays the "jaws harp," which is known
by many names.
Abe told stories all afternoon about the old
days.
Abe visits with Shirley Bartelmay.
Dale McRoberts and John Sutton do some old-time guitar playing.
And there was cake and punch to celebrate
Abe's birthday.
In case you haven't visited Postville, the
second floor has period furniture to give you...
... a sense of what things were like back in the
days of the 8th Judicial Circuit.
