To celebrate
Walt's 80th birthday, Miles and I rented a penthouse suite at
Bellagio on Sept. 17, 2005, and gathered about 40 of his friends
from near (the neighbors!) and far (Tacoma!) for a wonderful
bash.
Then, after the party, Walt and Terry got to stay in the suite
that night.
As you can see, the party got a little wild...
The Grand Entry: Walt is brought
to the room by Miles, Terry
and out-of-town friends Neena Pellegrini and her mom, Pat (not
pictured).

For what, though?
