Allen Midgett's 78th Birthday Party

This page and the next show scenes from Allen's 78th birthday party. It was organized by his daughters Portia and Veta. It was attended by all his living sisters and brothers, his daughters, his stepson Jim with his family, and most of his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Also many of his Stratford friends were there. The house was decorated with balloons and streamers. The barbeque and other goodies was piled high in the kitchen. A good time was had by all. And Allen was thrilled. He had a very happy birthday.
