Earlier today I enjoyed the rare privilege of dancing with my grandmother on her one hundredth birthday. My uncle and mother had arranged a dinner reception for about 60 of her family members near the spot where she had eloped with my late grandfather in 1935.
My cousin, who is the morning anchor for the are ABC affiliate had a news camera there to take a few shots at the beginning of the party, and then interviewed her for the 6, 11 and morning newscasts.
The biggest thrill for her was receiving a phone call from Michelle Obama this morning, and I understand it was a delightful chat. Earlier in the week she received a letter from the White House, which she had to have read to her as her eyesight is failing.
