My retirement party was held on
the 3rd floor conference room at the Chronicle. It was both a happy day and a sad one for me. Happy because I was really
ready to leave. And sad because I was leaving alot of good friends that I had worked with , not only here in Houston
but at other papers also. Standing at table are Stacy, my wife Dorothy, Amy and myself. Everyone had a good time, with a lot
of short speeches made, and plenty of good food and drink.
Standing L-R. Mrs. Nell Drumond, Dorothy and Mrs. Lou Gaerthner.
Nell and Lou are close friends who attended my party.
My big cake at the party. It was very good,
I went back for seconds.
