We always begin our Anniversary Luncheon with the singing of "God Bless America."  This time it was led by the incomparable voices of Beth and her daughter.  This song is usually followed by a moment of silence.  That important component was inadvertently forgotten, given the exuberance of the singing.  But we all felt the moment in our hearts and throughout the next day.

We are asked to be seated...

and we do!
