Walker’s

Tomorrow is my Dad’s 81st birthday. Last week my Mom e-mailed me to ask me if I was going to be surprising my Dad on his birthday. I wrote this back to her. “Sorry Mom, I am missing Dad’s birthday. I have my Walker’s 40th reunion this weekend.”

Later she called me to remind me to call my Dad. “I’m going to be at My Ethel Walker’s reunion.”

“Oh, that’s what your Walker’s reunion is,” she said. “I thought you were going be with a group of people walking.”

She only sent me to that school for three years. Granted it was 40 years ago.

So I flew to Boston today and my friend Stori picked me up at the airport along with her wonderful daughter Sam who was coming in from college in Colorado. We have had a gr at day together and tomorrow we will drive down to Walker’s together. We might do some walking, but that is not why I am here.

Say happy birthday to my Dad tomorrow if you know him.
