On my way Bill called and told me to show up at the Mazza Museum and all would become clear. So I did, and my surmise proved correct, but I had been had by all. I found out Linda came to Findlay on Sunday, and was not in PA as I had assumed. Lesson learned: never assume, especially with your wife. Nevertheless it was a very nice surprise after all. The evening began with hors d’oeuvres and a time of socialization followed by dinner. The Mazza Museum made the perfect setting for the evening. |
After greetings from the museum’s director, Ben Sapp, Dick Wilkin offered the invocation with Phil Scott and Bill Reist jointly emceeing the festivities and introducing the various participants. Dave Welker and Sarah Walker Baumgardner also each provided a vocal solo during the evening. As may be imagined I took a bit of ribbing from the speakers, Kathy Fell, Dave Draper, and Don Dennison, but it was all in good fun. When the comments ended, Bill and his wife Judy presented Linda with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and both of us a diamond-block pattern open compote made in Findlay (1888-1914). |
