Visiting Burgis...the Mayor of Quaker Hill Manor!

Also on Day One, we visited Burgis (Dennis' dad) in Lowell, Kansas.  I had planned a surprise activity with him --- creating a medals shadowbox using his WWII medals and a couple of pieces of memorabilia.   We had a great time chatting about each one and he quickly began directing the process!  It was fun to see how many guests he had stopping by to say hello (pay homage to?) ....he clearly is the unofficial mayor here! Sister Shirley did a great job taking notes so we have his comments about the medals.  I did add in his Kansas Yearly Meeting nametag, his 1947 State of Kansas Chauffeur's Badge and his 20 year belt buckle from B. F. Goodrich (he worked there 38 years!)  And, a good time was had by all!

 Anybody for a big gulp?  This one is Shirley Jane's -- lemonade and sprite?  Really???

And, yes, I straightened the crooked pin at the bottom....sigh....
