Neighbors: Here's a suggestion about how to propose to that special gal

With June, the popular month for weddings, coming up, you guys who are thinking of proposing to your gals had better get moving.

Here's a suggestion about how to do it from Clarence Speltz, Rochester, Minn.: Toss an apple to her.

Clarence writes that he learned that in ancient Greece, tossing an apple to a girl was a traditional proposal of marriage. Catching it meant she accepted.

Neighbors hopes you hopeful guys don't have girlfriends who are butterfingers.

Flipping question to you

Now we move from apples to pancakes. And Diane Samuelson has a question for you.

Diane, of West Fargo, says that while she and her husband were eating at the Kiwanis pancake festival in Fargo in February, her husband recalled a pancake breakfast in Moorhead back when he was a boy.

He says people were lined up outside the old Moorhead American Legion building. The morning was very cold, and people's feet were about numb by the time they got inside.

He says Brad Wimmer, Fargo, has mentioned that Kiwanis originated its pancake breakfasts at the old Red Owl store at the foot of Broadway in Fargo. So Diane's husband wonders what he stood in line for all those years ago? It would have been between 1960 and 1963.

"Does anyone in the area know about this?" she asks.

Over to you, neighbors.
