John's 60th

Major's Lane was a fitting location for a major birthday. Over one hundred people travelled to celebrate March 14th and John's 60th. Under the canopy people struggled with John's Name The Date Test. Testing it was. John had collated many pictures revealing memories spent, either with his family, or friends and colleagues. Many shared answers, some borrowed dates and a few guests actually identified the elusive years. Conversation flowed like the water features. Speeches were made and cakes cut. John shared his date of birth with many VIP's. To name but a few; Albert Einstein - John and he, both men of wisdom. Then there was Michael Caine - Men of many roles. John a son, a brother, a cousin, an uncle, a friend, a mentor and a colleague. Next, there was Billy Crystal - Both men known for their fine sense of humour and a clever whit. Hank Ketcham, who created Dennis The Menace and like John had an affinity to work with children. Finally, Frank Borman, the astronaut lead the first men to circle the moon and who, like John, encouraged people to reach for the stars. The list is endless. Happy Birthday John and thakn you for the invite. An honour to share this occasion.
