A Surprise 80th Celebration

In October, Claude Dixon Jr. celebrated his 80th birthday. A surprise celebration was held in the Chianti Room attended by family members from Des Moines, Iowa, Omaha, Neb., and the Phoenix metro area. Included were our children, grandchildren, great–grandchildren, and his sister and many friends. It was challenging to pull it off and keep it a secret, but we did it without a hitch. Melissa Gonzalez and her catering team were very helpful in making it a success.
