As I mentioned earlier, John was awarded the Honorary Service Award this year by the Hickory Elementary PTA. The dinner was a "Groovin to the 60s" theme. Our PTA president, Susan, is the daughter of one of John's good lifeguarding friends, so she brought her dad, Chick, as her date. John and Chick enjoyed catching up with each other while the rest of us caught up on the latest news of our children etc. Sheila and Ken Tiratira were also recipients of the award so I had lots of friends to talk to. We had a pretty good time and here are the photos, as promised.
