1959 Class Party At - October 16, 2010 - Celebration Of Life - Ferrin Hicks

As noted in another blog article, Ferrin Hicks brought to this party a celebration of life, a celebration that those present have made it this far in life.  Many of our classmates and spouses have not been so lucky.  Ferrin's sister, Peggy Dominey, bought this cake for Ferrin's celebration.  The two photographs on the cake are edible, thanks to Publix Super Markets.

Ferrin brought some high-end karaoke equipment to the party; however, a technical glich with a digital TV prevented this part of the celebration from proceeding.  Our thanks goes to Ferrin for the good old college try.
