He was a lot of fun. There was also an old man that sat at our table who danced almost every dance. Turns out his wife has been bedridden for 13 years.

more people

every time any type of armed forces, whether military or police, everyone stopped what they were doing to applaud. Everyone else, including the gazillion high school bands, got cheers and the show me your shoes!

a little happy...
