It was a great day for a family reunion. Five generations met, greeted and updated the family connections. Greetings and acknowledgements of reaching such a grand age included messages from the Queen; Governor General of Australia; Prime Minister of Australia and floral arrangements from the Mayor of Boorowa Council

Daughter Cheryl and grand-daughter Tracie had made especially for the occasion a bright patchwork quilt and everyone who came was asked to write comments on the quilt.

Also sharing Pat's birthday were two other birthday girls, Helen Picker and four year old Isabella.

Pat really enjoyed the day. It was great to see her smiling and enjoying the company.
