On August 26, 2012, my dad, Lawrence Hilmer Skromme, turned 99. His brother Bob, whose 88th birthday would occur a week later, drove from Ohio to join the celebration, In addition, neighbors Jimmy and Anita and her son Justin brought cupcakes and nursing caretakers added to the festivities with gifts and my dad’s favorite burnt sugar cake. We opened presents and cards and ate from two cakes, ice cream and cupcakes , candles, with blowers, and decorations to add to the festivities. More caretakers and neighbors celebrated the following Monday and sister Inga came in the weekend after and sister Karen celebrated the weekend before so the total celebration lasted two weeks and included many friends and family. See pictures in the family gallery.
August 2012 travel to Pennsylvania, Boston and Bloomington
After a very quick visit home to Rome GA, I took off again to see my parents in Lancaster PA and then attended what will probably be my last Academy of Managment meeting in Boston MA, where I walked the freedom trail in a Careers Division PDW with two graduate student to mentor. I stopped for a quick overnight to visit my sister Karen and her husband Tony Sequino and finished my trip with a very enjoyable reunion with an old friend from our mutual Rutgers PhD days, Victoria Bedford in Indiannapolis IN before coming home to prepare for Fall semester classes at Berry College.
