Life & Love: 70 Year Birthday (week 9,59/365,shinsato)

Saturday night over 100 people gathered together to honor Ethel MacDonald's 70 year birthday. Ethel has been prominent in the peace movement in the area when she was the executive director of the Jeanette Rankin Peace Center. Ethel is also an avid cyclist and runner as well as drummer. As part of the birthday party her out of town sons put on for her was a private concert from the Drum Brothers, who have also taught many local people African drumming. Ethel and I have been classmates which is how my wife and I were invited. She's an amazing person.
