Mrs. Ward celebrated her 103rd birthday this year!

Photo: Apparently my own birthday on July 27th took me "over the hill" and I erroneously wished Sheila Dunn a "Happy Birthday" on Chris Carpenter's birthday.  I apologize to Sheila for making her a year older too soon and to Chris Carpenter for missing her special day.
