Friendship forged on porch steps reveals a nearly 100-year connection between two Flyer families.
The delicate French Haviland china, with its dainty pink floral border and elegant gold accents, is back right where it belongs thanks to a Flyer friendship forged on the steps of 311 Kiefaber St. more than 40 years ago.

The story begins close to a century ago when relatives of Mary “Connie” Conway ’77 gifted the china to Monsignor John Shields, the parish priest in their town of Aledo in northwest Illinois. It ends with the dishes now resting in Conway’s china cabinet.
