Kathy and others,
I done forgot to comment on that. It was mostly a surprise party, although
Gretchen knew something was happening. There were about 40 people there
from ages of 2 months to about 85 years of age. She got lots of gifts but I
think she was sort of overwhelmed by the day itself. Big Everett, my
youngest son, and I went with Gretchen to the final review board meeting.
It was only five minutes but now after 4 years of being under their control,
she is free from all such authority and I think the realization of that sort
of caught her by surprise. She was, I believe, amazed at all the people
that were there for the surprise celebration.
Phil.
