To the Cape to Celebrate
On the weekend of October 13th, 2019, I celebrated my birthday with good friends who traveled from all over to be with me. Sandra Arnold and sister Pamela Adam put us up at their Inn (A Little Inn on Pleasant Bay), where we spent 3 beautiful days together. The theme of the weekend was “To the Cape to Celebrate.” And celebrate we did. From fine dining to a tour of the JFK Museum; a lobster boat cruise followed by a Sunday brunch (with a violinist thrown in for good measure). It was all magical. Even Lilly, my dog, had her portrait plastered on my birthday cake. But the highlight was when my longtime friend Bob Cortez revealed a video that he pieced together for my birthday. This video flashed my entire life in front of my eyes in less than 4 minutes.
The Highlights
And if that wasn’t enough, Bob made a video candids of the entire weekend. I may add he had very few photos to work with. But, you will definitely get a taste of what a great time we had.

Returning the Favor
On July 17th, 2024, I had the distinct privilege of returning the favor of the gift Bob gave me for my birthday. The day was Bob’s 80th birthday, and I spent two months pouring my heart and soul into a video that would showcase Bob’s life in a powerful, exciting, and emotional style.
I accomplished that goal and was so proud and filled with joy to have played it for him on the eve of his birthday. It is a 4.5-minute video highlighting his family, wife, and two daughters, with a particular highlight of his granddaughter and a visit to my hometown, riding in a boat on Lake of the Woods. I hope you enjoy celebrating Bob’s life of 80 years.
