My Father's Surprise Birthday - June 2002


The occasion took place
June 2002 at Valley Hi Country Club
in Sacramento, California.

My dad's 2nd wife, Kathy, had planned this surprise
"73rd" Birthday party in Dad's honor.

Garvin, Angel, Hyrum, and I flew in together. (from Florida)
Sarah and Caleb flew in together. (from Utah)

The best part of the event - was my Dad was playing golf
with his golfing buddies...The rest of us, family and friends,
 were waiting for him in this private
party room.
Caleb, whom my dad had not seen in quite awhile,
went out to get my Dad, on completion of their golf game.
My dad did NOT recognize him.  He thought he was a new
hire at the club.  I believe Caleb told my Dad he was wanted on the phone...
When Caleb escorted him to the private party room,
we all yelled...SURPRISE...!
It was only then, that my Father looked at Caleb...and realized...it was
his own grandson.  EVERYONE LOVED IT!

I had more pictures...but, don't know where they all are...
so...for family history sake...I am posting
what I have found thus far:
