Ken Bornstein celebrated his 60th birthday with a dinner party in his home recently and Sharon and I were fortunate enough to be invited to share in the festivities along with the Sokolov family. Ken's wife, Jan, along with help from their daughters (Katherine & Rachael) and son-in-law (our son, Wayne) did a great job in putting the whole thing together. Great food and drink, lots of nostalgia, gentle roasting and loads of laughs made it a great night.
