OCT: Always the party of the year, Mom and I celebrated Auntie Juliana Koo’s 111th birthday at NYC’s Hotel Pierre with hundreds of her
family and friends. Her daughters Shirley and Gene Young had renowned pianist Lang Lang there, who played one of her favorite Chopin
pieces, and helped by son-in-law Oscar Tang and some great-grandchildren, she blew out her birthday candles. Inspiring to see her on the
dance floor along with many other guests. Another delightful birthday to share with many friends, including Laurette and Winnie Feng.
APR: Spent a day in Federal court - fortunately, for the portrait unveiling and retirement roast of U.S. District Court Judge Greg Frost, with
Kris, their family, and other invited friends and colleagues. Greg got his rebuttals in from his bench before we adjourned to the Federal
Court House lobby - here with Sandy Drabik, who came down from Toledo, and others - to congratulate Greg.

SEP: Friends brought food - my cold sesame noodles with shredded chicken and julienned cucumbers - and lots of wine to celebrate
Peace Lutheran Church’s Music Director Michael Lester’s 50th birthday at the Harrison Park Recreation Center. A joyful afternoon with
Pat Rocca, Chad Greenwold, Terry & Chris Broas, Pastor Kai & Patty Nilsen, and many other friends from my church and elsewhere.
