Hunter's Birthday Party: Another View!

SIESTA KEY SITUATION ROOM - The absolute latest in NEWS!

One never experienced such a select crowd of family members and guests, and such an entertaining 90 minutes than at HUNTER KEATING'S First Birthday Party. The well-wishers competed fiercely in getting nearest to the birthday-child in order to view him up close and also get a superb photo shot. Hunter, the MAN IN THE CENTER, remained cool as befitting a host and only once allowed a sign of hunger when he attacked the official birthday cake with manly gusto. As could be expected, he showed total absorption in entertaining his guests. He payed particular attention to the youngest visitors and his eyes oscillated from Natalie (and later Karl) to the many appropriate gifts he received. Mother and Father outdid themselves with a nice spread of wholesome food and diet drinks. It certainly was a nice party and not soonforgotten.

While I am in the computer seat, a quick information about SLIDES. We have 3,900 slides, dating back to 1955, when Oma and I decided to get married in Stockholm. In nine cases are nice shots about everything from assorted births to landscapes, family birthdays, Christmas celebrations and many more absolutely fascinating pictures, captured at their precise moment by yours truly. The slide show ends in 1980. There are of course intriguing views of Peter, Thomas and Jennifer; and newly acquired family members, like Cynthia and Bobby. Karl and Natalie, besides Hunter, might be particularly interested in viewing the older generations...YOU ALL will be glad you viewed the 3,900 glimpses of the past.

Opa, Sunday morning.
