Whitesides and Greg Do Lunch

Maxine and Dr. Bob Whiteside took their nephew Greg Fieg to lunch at Bev's on the River which is Sioux City, IA's premier restaurant for lunch and dinner. Serving a modern American fare, the sprawling facility with dining rooms, outdoor deck and bar, overlooks the mighty Missouri River and is not far from where the Whitesides summered for many years at their vacation home in Yankton, SD.

The Whitesides gave up the home some years ago, opting to travel in the summer to the homes of two of their four children, Dr. Jeffrey Whiteside of Appleton, Wisc. on Lake Oshkosh, and Anne Still of Danville, IN.

During the course of the visit with Greg, Maxine was able to say a brief hello by phone to her late brother Frank's best childhood friend Col. Clifford R. "Roger" Silliman (USAF ret.) of Lompoc, CA. Roger this year celebrated his 90th birthday and is still very active, walking two or more miles a day.

The Whitesides will visit Danville in September.
