July 31, 1997 It's HER birthday and SHE's 50!

Update 08/01/97: It WAS her birthday. She didn't exactly duplicate the 
above scene, but close enough to frighten the locals.

Come watch the sunset and drink a toast to Lorraine Ross Hall on her 50th birthday West 79th Street Boat Basin Cafe in the Boat Basin Rotunda at 79th Street and the Hudson River 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. Thursday, July 31, 1997

Update 08/01/97: The above scene, however, was reasonably copied. 
The weather was outstanding. We watched the sunset over the Hudson. 
We drank many toasts. Last call at midnight.
We had a fire for the ritual burning of the dead meat. 
There were unidentifiable bodies on the ground. 
There was dancing, dogs, children and grandmothers.
 
But most of all, there were HER favorite people, all in one spot.

No gifts, please, but interesting postcards and large checks are always welcome.

Update 08/01/97: There were, of course, gifts because people refuse
to follow directions. There were many interesting postcards on many
interesting topics and there were also large checks. In fact, the
largest check measured 4 feet by 2 feet.

Take the M79 bus to the end of the line, or walk west on 79th to the traffic circle*. Take the stairs down to the rotunda. *Mind the traffic on the exit and entrance ramps to the West Side Highway.

Update 08/01/97: Everyone arrived and departed safely. 
No one was permanently injured in the making of this party.

This month also marks HER father's birthday.
