Happy 90th, Papa |
|
My mom and dad, Joe and Betty Ann Claeys, at Dad’s 90th birthday party at the ballroom in Ghent, MN. Dad’s birthday is March 5th. The party was on Saturday, March 7th. |

All of us sang Happy Birthday to Dad. |

We did a good job! |

We made a point of taking some family pictures after a delicious fried chicken dinner that also included salads and pizza and everything good to eat. |
