102 times two: Friends hold dual celebration
It’s not every day that someone turns 102 — but between Marie De La Torre and her friend, Mary Blanchard, they’re only 12 days apart. Both De La Torre and Blanchard celebrated their birthdays at Casa Lupitas in Castaic on Tuesday, with De La Torre’s birthday being June 2 and Blanchard’s birthday on June 14. Enjoying each year to the fullest, the women keep a busy schedule with various activities, including driving.
