Gladys Sits in Grandma Ort's Rocker for the Afternoon

The multipurpose room at Ashland Public School in Ashland, Montana
was transformed into a place of wonder and delight for Gladys.
She saw friends that she hadn't seen for years. Her favorite
music was playing, handsome men young and old were showering her
with attention, her family gathered around her and the flowers, oh the
flowers kept arriving by the armloads. Gladys glowed, looking lovely in
her print jacket wearing a favorite turquoise necklace.
The walls were covered with the story of her life and wonderful pictures of
her family and friends.
There was a feast set out by Jane and Wayne. The tables were filled with well
wishers.
When the family photograph was taken it took half the room to fit everyone
in and they were squeezed tight.
