| On December
17th the family got together to celebrate
a couple of anniversaries. One was for my
sister Phyllis and her husband Ken, and
the other was my wife Debbie and me. We
all met at 'Pal Joeys' in West Chicago
for the gala event. A couple of family
members couldn't make it, and while we
sincerely missed them, it appeared all
who were able to attend had a good time. |

| The major
purpose of the gathering was for Phyllis
and Ken to celebrate 40 years of wedded
bliss. They did so in great style, and in
the process were fortunate enough to be
the proud recipients of an old family
heirloom, pictured here. This gift must
have a special meaning to them, as I saw
tears well up in their eyes as they
unwrapped it and realized what it was.
I'm guessing it will stay in their family
for quite a long time |

| Debbie and
I celebrated our 17th year, and we'll
keep trying to catch Phyllis and Ken. I
know I had a wonderful time and look
forward to getting together again. The
only problem was we had too many people
trying to pay the bill! The economy must
be better than anyone thought. |
