Second weekend of April 2011: PAMS

Mom, Dad, and I attended the Induction Ball for PAMS with Robin Torres and other officers (including Mom as treasurer and Tita Tina as BOD member) being induced! Robin Torres's children spoke, with his son making the point that he didn't know what an OB/gyn was when an elementary school student, and couldn't understand why he couldn't go with his dad to "bring your child to work day" as a youngster.

Tito Larry & Tita Tina (and her auntie), as well as Nilda, Dr. Pat, and the evening's star tenor, Leo (who is the choir director for Gabe Z's brother's choir), were at our table for dinner. The food was delicious, the conversation lively and flowed openly.

We all enjoyed dancing after the speeches and induction ceremony.

It was also great to catch up with Nilda, and with other PNR friends tonight.

We practiced the art of the Filipino goodbye after the band stopped for the night.

We just arrived home, but not until after meeting a small group in the lobby who inquired of Mom why she was walking so slowly (one of them in their party has never danced, allegedly...), and waiting on the portico and spotting a "Kennywood-like" stuffed gorilla!
