A Special Weekend
still her little boy. I have never forgotten that. To bring more emotion into the occasion our second-oldest grandson, Jason, is leaving for South Korea to teach English for the next two years. He is excited about the challenge and so are we, but it is still difficult for all of us to lose him for such a long time. Wendy picked me up and we got to the hotel about one o’clock in the afternoon. They told us our room would not be ready until four. So we went to have lunch at the pool area, which is near the beach. Some of our family was already there and I was happy to see Frank among them. We were not at all sure he would be able to come. Jason had brought Louis, a friend of his,
whom he met on one of his trips to Belgium. Louis is a very nice young man and when you have a big family, one more doesn’t matter. They weren’t kidding when they said it would be four o’clock before we could get into our room. If you heard the price of the room you would say they owe you a partial rebate. Wendy walked us to our suite. I realized later she wanted to see our reaction when we opened the door. I was innocently unprepared for the experience but the creativity of my children never surprises me. First of all, there was a giant (and I mean giant) portrait of Herman and me on an easel. There were framed photographs of us all around the room – many of them from our wedding
Abigail Leuchter and Carly Shooster wearing He’s Her- Man shirts commemorating 60 years of marriage.
