It was a cause for celebration recently in Escalon, as local resident Jetty Hartgrove observed her 104th birthday. A gathering hosted at the Escalon Community Center included some special guests, a birthday cake, gifts and a presentation of a Certificate of Recognition. On hand to present the certificate, from the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, was District 5 Supervisor Robert Rickman, who represents Escalon on the county board. Hartgrove remains active with the Senior Meal program and is also part of the Senior Fun Bunch in the city. Among those attending the party to honor her were representatives from the City of Escalon, along with Escalon Police and Escalon Fire departments, family members and friends.
