Peter and Lilian Kerr were our hosts for a very memorable birthday celebration at their beautiful home and surrounding property overlooking the water.  Their new home was two years in the making and features a blend of Edwardian architecture with an Arts & Crafts theme.  Although their home has all the latest in 21st century features,  they are surrounded by a  spacious interior of beamed ceilings, paneled doors, hand crafted furniture and a solid oak grand staircase that remind you of another time in elegant living.  

The day began with rain but finally cleared by noon allowing the guests to socialize over a great selection of wine and hors d'oeuvres.  For at least one or two guests, this was their first opportunity to participate in a class function and re connect with old friends.   With two barbecues and tables of food, everyone enjoyed a splendid dinner on the patio and in the garden.   A large birthday cake was brought out followed by a card and book presentation to Peter and Lilian by class president John Youson.   As the evening wound down, Gary and Richard brought out their guitars and accompanied songs from the fifties and sixties sung around the fire pit.   It was a great time enjoyed by all.
