We had the pleasure of spending the day with famous golfer, Billy Casper. His golfing glory days are long over, but he had many interesting and funny stories to tell, especially about Arnold Palmer. He is incredibly accomplished, has something like 11 children, and (who knew?) is an area seventy! He was one of the most gracious, kind people I've ever met, especially because it was a VERY long day for him (plus, he's 80). And he had entertained people the previous night. And it was pouring rain the entire time. He gave a great clinic, and even spoke at the dinner that night. I was thoroughly exhausted, so I can't imagine how tired he must have been.
While waiting for dinner to begin, Grace sat with Grandpa Fred, and later entertained guests during the cocktail hour before dinner. She was waiting for Grandma Jane to pick her up for a sleepover. Grandma was picking up Andrew from football practice and running him out to the country club so that he could lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. He was pretty excited to do it, and did a fantastic job!
Sam came to talk with Billy and joined us for dinner. It was a terrific evening!
