Retirement Celebration! Jack Traum

As in all of life, you will make many friends, but in that number of friends, some will be a true blue friend and they are few and far between. Going back over 25 years or so, Jack and Annette Traum fall into that list of true blue friends. We were so close back then that Ann-Marie called them Aunt Annette and Uncle Jack...even to this day. Bob and I were given the title of Aunt Juliet and Uncle Bob to their three children...Ed, Jeannette and Mike. Well Jack Traum finally reitred from Ingersoll.
It was a suprise party and when the time got near for them to arrive, Ed, their son went around to all the tables to let us all know and yell out "SURPRISE!".
According to Ed, Annette had done all the planning and did a great job of keeping it a secret from Jack.

Need I say more, Jack was totally SURPRISE!
What a great couple they make. They will be taking a wonderful crusie to Alaska in July! Enjoy your retirement Jack and we all know that you will keep yourself busy will all the Honey-Do-List from Annette.

The Traums are awesome people...I'm glad they had a nice party! I got to say "hi" to them at their grandson Jeremy's graduation party.

I love Aunt Annette and Uncle Jack! I'm so sad we had to miss their party. They are truly wonderful people and dear, dear friends!
