Three September Birthdays! Helen, Joanne, Alice

When pondering the preponderance of birthdays in September one can only count back 9 months to New Year's Eve! Of Course!

 

What was supposed to be an intimate gathering (think 5) of Helen Quinzer's friends to celebrate her birthday at Regina English's house turned into a much larger affair in  the hands of Kismet uber chef and fellow birthday celebrant Joanne Agoglia, who volunteered, naturally, to do the cooking. The guest list now expanded to Joanne's family and friends. Add to that the last minute birthday celebration of Alice Nyburg which included the KLAW contingent, and, of course, the Xanadus and their friends, which turned into a festive event that lasted from 6 to almost midnight.

    Cartoon Alley hosted a birthday party for Myrna and Frank Grace last Saturday night (Oct. 4).  The party began at 9 with Terry and I and Myrna's shares, Cindy, Sue, Beth and Peter.  John from Dynasty stopped over with delicious pastries.   

 

    For some, it began with dinner at Gene's house.  Dinner ran a little late, so this group arrived at 10.
