Mom and Dad flew in Tuesday for a quick visit and Danielle and Bennett also stopped in for a few days.
With Danielle, Bennett and Grandma Ward and I enjoyed a visit to the Farmer's Market. Bennett is trying to figure out if she wants to take a bite out of this pumpkin. Then we went to visit Ruth Goforth at Brighton Gardens Assisted Living Home. Bennett brought lots of smiles to the residents there.
The main reason for Mom and Dad's visit was the celebration of Ward Tank's 25th anniversary. On Thursday there was a golf tournament with about 150 participants and then a luncheon on Friday with employees, past and present, suppliers and clients and lots of friends of Ward Tank from over the years. I was so proud of Dad as well as Uncle Donnie and Jon. Lots of hard work and God's blessing has yielded a good reward. When Jon introduced Dad as the founder of the company and asked him to say a few words, the DJ started playing the Bama fight song before Dad could speak. At the end of the song most of the crowd yelled, "Roll Tide Roll" at just the right time! What an appropriate intro for Dad!!
