6th Annual JW Kickball & Kegger Fest

This past Saturday turned out to be a very special day as John's family, friends, as well as old and new acquaintances, commemorated in true John style the 36th anniversary of his birth.  The highlight, of course, was the beer cup kickball game in which everyone who played turned out to be a winner (since the game ended in an 11-11 tie, after extra innings).

The moon bounce and the slip & slide turned out to be a real hit for the newest generation to join the festivities.  The weather was perfect, as was the camaraderie.  A special thanks to Aaron for supplying the Guinness for the toast to John (as well as a special toast to John's newest niece or nephew who is due in November).  Also, a special thank you to the Morgantown crew for their help in setting up before the fest, and cleaning up after.  The fest would not have been the success it was but for their able assistance.  And, of course, thanks to Barbara, John's "second mom," who took many of the pictures below.

Also, an exceedingly special thanks to John's Aunt Ticia and Uncle Ken who once again made an extremely generous donation to JW's Memorial Fund which is now at almost 95% of its goal in donations and pledges in raising $25,000 for the World Movement for Democracy Global Assembly in Lima, Peru this October. 

Be sure to check out the photos for the day, to include one of the day-after.
