Birthday girl, Ina Jacobson, with her cake and her beautiful rose.

Seated to Ina's left is Wilma Erickson, who celebrated her 95th birthday in 2008.

I would venture to say that these two women's years of membership in Selle Club adds up to far more than my age of 62.

Ina is the mother of Al, Larry and Roy Jacobson, all great athletes and leaders while growing up here in Sandpoint.

All, phenomenal people with phenomenal families.

Ina's husband Elmer, a lifelong woodsman, took time out to go off to war.

Wilma worked in the War Department during WWII.

Yesterday she told the story of coming across a pay stub for Elmer's wages to be sent to Ina. It was a welcome sight for a young lady so far away from home during the war.
