Br. John

   Br. John's shares in Flo Goodson's (of the Westport Golden Age Club) 103rd birthday celebration. In 2009, Kansas City, MO. issued Flo a special proclaimation as the community's oldest  social/neighborhood activist volunteer.

   Flo made Br. John promise, that he would sing at her 104 birthday party. She enthusiastically said she plans "to live to be 110 years old!" Well, that was last year-2010.

 ************************************************

 I'm proud to have kept my promise and was likewise there for her latest, recent, party.      

  Flo made another promise and there we were for Flo's 105th B-day celebration.

         P.S.                                                                               just At 100, Flo got a traffic ticket for speeding. recently gave up her driving license and sold her car. Amazing!

              HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLO! 

 Born in 1906, can you imagine what incredible things she has seen and experienced in her lifetime? Plus, she still continues to enjoy serving others-even at her own party!

 Flo Goodson.

  Hope to see you next Oct-2012 for another Flo Goodson (106) birthday celebration.

   We were informed after our baked chicken dinner to "thoroughly wash your hands. Reptiles also love the smell and taste of greasy, chicken fingers too!"

   Never in my entire life

 would I have imagined holding a real, live alligator in my hands. This one raised from a baby (she) was as gentle as a kitten. Except for no fur, add about 6 feet and a couple hundred pounds, 4 inch teeth and skin that feels like smooth, hard, warm leather. Of course, you know I've got a good story to tell and working on a show about my "once in a lifetime" experience! Hit me back with your comments and questions.
