surprising my father with a birthday afternoon

You can plan a party all you want, but it's nothing without the guests.  This afternoon I am so enormously grateful to my father's friends, who joined us in our humble home to celebrate another good year.  Kim White, a Radnor High Famer If Ever There Should Be One, read his homemade tribute while his dear wife Janet listened (a spark in those bright eyes of hers).  Louisa and Will and Scott brought their great humor and good hearts.  (We missed you, Joanne.)

My father has found himself surrounded by very good people.  He deserves that much and more.

Happy Birthday, Dad!
