WINIFRED MCCANDLESS BEST, FUHS '49

This is an article from the Fullerton paper about Vella McCandless' 100th birthday (Winifred's mother). It looks like Winifred can volunteer for her class's 75th reunion committee.

I know that you can't read it. I can email you my copy, but it isn't much better. Can anyone who gets the Fullerton paper scan a copy at 300 resolution to send to me and I can try to do better? (See below-I typed it.)

What it says:

100 YEARS OF BIRTHDAYS: Centenarian Vella Dolores McCandless of Fullerton enjoys birthday wishes with her daughters, Deanna Tolbert, left, and Winifred Best.

FULLERTON MATRIARCH CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAY
Memories of packing oranges in the old Eadington Packing House in Fullerton were part of the snippets from 100 years of life celebrated by Vella Dolores McCandless last month. The leap year baby was born March 1, 1908 in Butterfield, MO. At age 19, she left the midwest to visit her brothers in Los Angeles and found a job at Goodyear Tires.
It was during this time she met Archie McCandless, who was living in Fullerton at the time. The couple married in 1929 and raised two daughters, Winifred Best, now living in Placentia, and Deanna Tolbert of San Diego.
“Vella packed citrus for more than 45 years,” grand-daughter Jennifer Manaserro said. “Whenever there was a special boxed order, the supervisors would always ask Vella to do the packing.”
Her family and friends recall the beautiful flowers and tomatoes McCandless grew in her Fullerton garden. Archie died in 1961.
Today, Vella is happy to be the matriarch for 8 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
Winifred Best is FUHS ‘49
Deanna Tolbert is FUHS year?
