Living here at west side Terrace we have a custom of celebrating the 90th Birthday of Residents every year, we had 2 this January we celebrated today with family friends and neighbors.

 .
Dave Brown and Clara Shettelton turned 90. we celebrated with cake and Ice Creme and Coffee,
.

Dave is a WWII Navy Veteran,  retired Captain from the Fort Drum Fire Department and was also a Barber which is what he did in the Navy !   His family was able to travel in from all over to be here today to help celebrate.

Clara Shettleton is a widow, she has 2 sons who gave her a Party last week taking her out to dinner but were unable to be here today, Clara has lot her hearing in both ears and her hearing aides do not work very good but if you yell enlough she can understand.

When you guys throw a party you THROW a party. What a great idea. At first I thought the internet had aged you my friend, so now I know it is not THEE!
I know you guys are appreciated for taking care of so many 'corners' of your living space.
Go NAVY. Love those VETS especially the WWII guys.
