KATHY TURNS 61!!!


Yes, 61! I felt embarrassed at first about being 61...that's OLD! But then I thought again...the alternative. After all, at 61, I can still walk 7 - 8 miles on a hot Saturday morning. At 61, I can still bike all over town--on a two-wheeler. At 61, I can still work as a facilitator lugging a heavy, full crate all over Fort Wayne. This past year I ran a 6.2 mile race in Hot Atlanta on the 4th of July. I introduced a national speaker at the Summer Institute. I traveled to NYC, Salt Lake City and Atlanta. I have had lunch with some of my best friends. I got to hold a new grandbaby. I celebrated being married to my best friend for 25 years. Yes, 61, and proud of it!

You should be proud that you are 61. You look absolutely fabulous and I do not think you have aged one little bit since you were my third grade teacher. Keep up the excellent work and congrats on 61 fantastic years. Nikki Oberlin

Happy, Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a great day. I would never, ever, guess you were 61. I hope I'm as hip as you at 61. Again, happy birthday!
