Tim Rippey Show at the VFW

Upon Charlene's recommendation, we attended a very enjoyable event at a local VFW where this singer, Tim Rippey, performed. He was a great singer and sang a wide variety of great songs. He performed for 3 hours straight. I did notice he was chewing gum, probably to keep his mouth from drying out. We also enjoyed a nice dinner, and while he sang, we danced to his crooning. We had a great time.




Here is Tim who graciously came over so we could take a picture.

The dinner table.

The girls.

This was one of the ladies who sat with us at the same table. We all flipped out when we found out that she was 94 years old. She leads an exercise class at the VFW 3 times a week, and we heard that some of the participants can't keep up with her. She also got up and danced several times that night. She doesn't look a day older than 70, does she? She also was nicknamed as a "Rosie the Riveter" because she worked in the naval yards in New Jersey during the war even though she wasn't a true "Rosie theRiveter."
