Re: 40th birthday party

Good thinking , Mike.  If we can coordinate common friends, it would be helpful.  I would like to visit Marie Laramee and invite her, also Harold Perry and Frieda, Margaret Anttila, Barb Sproule (also recently widowed).  Dianne has already invited Bonnie.  Sandy should certainly be invited.  Let's keep in touch about this.

I'm pretty curious who will be invited.  It really seems at our age family takes over most of our time.    Friends, well... who knows.  I hope to invite Marie Larimee since she & Ed were welcoming in the very beginning.  Ed passed away in the last couple of years. Others I have thought about:  Oskar, Bonnie J, Annie Cr, Sandy Kryz, Brian & Sandy, Stan & Marilee, anyone inviting Doug Hart or Dave Ness, Sydney, Nora, Francis? As it is I would only invite someone who would commit to coming, so I shouldn't have a problem with only ten invites. How do other people feel about using their invites only  for people who "will" come.  I am not talking about the inevitable, unpredictable life events that may possibly happen. So Eric, I will stay in touch and pass any extra on to you too cheers Mike ----- Original Message ----- >From: Eric Anttila >To: Dianne Ness >Cc: Judith Ramsay ; Ellen Good ; Peter Bunnett ; Janice ; Paige ; Helen Forsey ; John Inglis ; Ken Leese ; Linda Rush ; Mike McNerney ; jerome schatten ; Dianne Ness >Sent: Monday, May 28, 2012 10:48 AM >Subject: Re: 40th birthday party > >You are excluding me and my family for some reason with your restriction that I may invite only 10 people.
