The Prefect's office meeting hall before the Coopera meeting

I hate to see the traditions disappearing here quickly

The hall kept filling to overflowing.  Only 3 Expats in attendance.

We celebrated Joe Spotts’ 65th Birthday this evening.   Photos are not in order, thanks to Google again.

Hope you enjoy the photos.  That was the day's excitement,   Cheers, Al  

Joseph and Joe show up at the surprise Birthday party.

Richard & Joyce's 2 Siamese let us use the place

Joyce and friends put on a big spread

Group shot (minus me)

Them again...

Some of the presents

Not quite 65 candles....

Joe tells a story first

He huffed..

and he puffed...

and the candles kept re-lighting

People on the balcony welcoming them

Somehow they got the candles out without calling the Fire Dept.

Yes, there should have been 65 candles

Maybe he wants these as souvenirs?

Yeah, he'll keep those two

Out of breath??

John and Joseph

and again

Here he is Barbie...

We had the card signed by everyone at Joe's the last 2 weeks

I had made the card on everyone's behalf

Yes, it was a surprise...  maybe??

Joe examines the collage that I made on canvas

He seemed genuinely touched by it all

Look at all those signatures

Yes, he really looks surprised

Thanking some of the guests

The guests enjoyed themselves

Lots of room in this beautiful house

Everybody bent a few elbows

A frozen monkey??
