Don's 75th Birthday

Just when you thought we couldn't possibly have more fun, Carol Alexander arranges a 75th birthday party for Don in the Kreis's garage. And of course Karoake is involved. There were 52 of us and it was a blast. Be sure not to miss the short video below.

The beautiful Happy Birthday Don banner right above the essential disclaimer "What Happens In The Garage Stays In The Garage"....you wish.



Our hostess, Carol, in a lovely overall ensemble accessorized with a jaunty red bandana. Joining her are Judy Widener and Dian Pedersen.



Don sports his bandana as a hippie headband.


What event at the Lake is anything without a ducking? This birthday duck mysteriously appeared on one of the card tables. No one seems to know who's responsible. I suspect Mary Kreis.


Don Kreutzberg surveys the lavish hors d'oeuvres table.


Pat Kreutzberg with Norma Beall, Sandy Rhatigan and Fran Geneau.


Linda Rich and John Andrew. Unfortunately, Katie was under the weather for this event.


That's me with Tom Strathairn and Harry Bubnack.


John Lee raises a toast to Brigitte, our very excellent bartender.



Looking ever so cute, Jeannine and Evie.


Mary and Red Coffman came over from the Chateau Lake San Marcos.


Jim and Nancy Broach had a great evening.


Blindfolded, Geri Sweat is pinning a Part On The Old Fart. This is a throw back to the pin-the-tail-on the donkey we used to play at birthday parties. That's a moustache she's sticking to his arm. Needless to say, she didn't win.


Eli and Fran share a special moment.


Wayne Widener is overwhelmed by the buffet table.


Terri Strathairn, Evie Williams, Mary Kreis and Lisa DeLucchi are performing "Tequila". As they were having far more fun entertaining the group, they forgot to yell "Tequilla" a few times. And it is the only lyric in the song.


Judy Widener dances with an oil can on her head. It was the elegant receptable for our table arrangements.


Some of the singers enjoying a tune.
Don't miss the short video. I'm saving all the really bad stuff (and there's plenty of it) for a longer DVD to be distributed to my friends, some of whom are musically talented and some are more challenged.
