Wandering Star



Nadine Baum is a “frequent flyer” at her local McDonald’s in Hannover, Pennsylvania. She regularly lunches there with her son. October 13, when mother and son showed up for their usual visit, the staff surprised them with flowers, balloons, a cake and a rendition of “Happy Birthday.” It was Nadine’s 100th and they wanted to make it a special day for her. They presented her with a certificate for free meals at Mickey D’s – for life. “I just can’t get over this,” she exclaimed as she enjoyed her Big Mac, mocha frappe and slice of cake, “This is so wonderful. I’m going to go in three times a day, every day.” I can’t help wondering, with eating habits like that, how many more birthdays Nadine will see. Still, if the Golden Arches are what makes her happy, that’s exactly where she should be.
