Mary Cesarz did not stop feeling patriotic after Memorial Day weekend. The Ortonville resident has been delivering patriotic quilts to wounded servicemen at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. since March. She plans on continuing her service until November.
Cesarz and Carole Carroll of Oxford have sponsored a ‘quilt-in,? an organized quiltmaking session held at the Independence Village retirement community in Oxford.
