The next day we gathered for a sorting of the goods (or, at least, of the paperweights)
as Sarah
Larry
and Dick posed
and Sarah took a phone call
before we drove to New York and chose this umbrella room
after Ed, Ben, Larry and Dick discussed the options
and Ben
had this hot dog
as the preparer
came forth with 3 more
all nicely put together
as Janet had her Chewy bar
and Dick and Ed ate their hot dogs
as I looked to the fallafel stand
and Ben
Dick and Ed
Larry
and Dick again finished lunch
before we arrived at MoMA and were met by Spencer, the guide for our scavenger hunt
and by Emily and Jim who just happened to be there.
Afterwards, there was a reception at the Princeton Club (who knew) with Suzanne
Jane and Ben
and Jane alone
OtherJane
and Peter and I together
along with a few pictures across the darkened room
before Suzanne and Martha posed
as did Sarah
and then there were the pictures of the tables starting with Rene, Peter and Josh
then Fran, Dick, Larry and Janet
DPD, Jeff, Richard, Sara and Steven Just
and another of that group with Suzanne joining
and then DPD, Ben and Suzanne with Sara and Steven Just
as Peter Kramer offered me a toast
and the room darkened once more
before we saw the picture of my work environs
as I chatted with Richard Just
as the fruit lingered
Sara and Fran said their farewells
and we made our way out of the city
and back to Princeton where I was given this appropriate shirt
and we gathered for a late (and tire dinner)
as the food
and flowers
and tired super hostess
and birthday boy were all memories of a wonderful few days.
