Birthdays:
Gary Rhoades —
"Leigh: We had an exceptionally wonderful time Sunday! Although we had the back room, we also had the whole place to ourselves. Claudia was marvelous, as were the roses and the cheeses and salmon selected. It could not have been a more fun experience, especially with the special blends as a gift to the guests when we boarded our limo for the ride back home. On top of it the Beavers won and are the national champs again. Since Debby and I are Beavers, it really capped what was otherwise a great birthday celebration. We look forward to visiting you again, as do our guests. "
