The Dufilhos Mark Golden Anniversary
OPELOUSAS – Mr. and Mrs. Roger Dufilho were honored on their golden wedding anniversary at a reception Sunday afternoon.
Their son, Mr. Alvin Dufilho of this city, and their daughter, Mrs. Lester Hazelwood of Houston, Tex., entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Dufilho.
