On April 24, 2009 wife Sandy threw a surprise birthday party for Larry Edmundson. There were about 160 guests and believe it or not she managed to plan it over a 6 month timeframe and keep it a secret! I'm sharing some of the pictures in the event you may recognize some of the participants and share in my moment...since you all either have had it or have it coming up.
Lanny Callicott and Marion Reithel admiring Ms. Hooters. Hard to recognize but in the back ground is Baxter Wheatley, Charles and Carolyn Barnes, Hugh and Winona.
Gene McAdoo tried to elope with her.
Shirley Wright Kaler. Patsey Cherry Roney was also there.
Tables, bar, and band was setup outside.
Food was setup inside Sandy's Another Thyme Cafe. It's located on North First Street in the building that was Yate's Grocery when we were in school.
My birthday cake.
Self explanatory!
Lauren, Lexi, and Ryan-three of my four grandkids.
Sandy with her daughters, Ginger and April.
Kids and grandkids. Libby (Jacksonville, Fl), Neil (Pittsford, NY), Lexi (Neil's), Ryan,Lauren, (both Gena's) and Gena (Austin, TX). Was seeing them a real surprise!

That's Walt Ward in the white sweater. He used to have the record shop on Washington Ave. that sold the newest 45's.
