1987 Friday — Surprise!

Today is Tuesday, June 27, 2023. I am currently deconstructing photo albums. As photos fall from the pages, I sit here in a pool of memories wishing I had been blipping all my life. So I’m inserting these into Blipfoto on the appropriate pages of yesteryear.

1987: A surprise birthday party for Mitch. I don’t think it was a special birthday that ends in a zero or a five; it was just because it felt like the right thing to do. It was held at a nearby restaurant and lots of friends attended.

All I remember is that we had lots and lots of fun. Several people were asked to speak and I was privileged to be one of them. Because we were bicycling buddies, I had lots of stories to tell and I told a few. I wish I still had a copy of the words I spoke, but I don’t.

P.S. In less than 5 years, Mitch’s time on earth ended. On the early morning of January 31, Mitch had been out playing racketball with a buddy. As they were walking to their cars Mitch fell dead in the parking lot. Arrhythmia was the cause of death.
