Surprise Birthday Party 2005

Family and friends of Mike gathered at his daughter Audrey Thompson's house for a surprise 60th birthday. Those attending include his other daughter Erica, Mr. & Mrs. Don Baldwin (parents of classmate Lynda Baldwin Stark), Marsha Reynolds O'Connor and her son of Neodesha, Gary Martin of Sedan, Dan Hoobler of Coffeyville, Orlo Paget and Bob Perry of Neodesha, sister Cheryl of Independence, Theresa Gidney, as well as grandkids and other friends. Marsha provided him with a prune bouquet and I gave him a cane with mirror, fuzzy dice, headlight, reflectors and a horn. We were all well fed and enjoyed the evening helping Mike celebrate the occasion.
