chicken dance
What used to be here was a blog about a 100th birthday party. The intention was to express how it taught me the importance of not taking everything so seriously, and what a beautiful thing that can be. Some people obviously missed that point and for that I am sorry and have removed the blog.

can't believe that we were at the same party, you certainly don't look at any positive side of this wonderful party and all the praise that was given to this wonderful happy and kind person. Maybe you should try the chicken dance yourself sometimes.
This is very strange, and I think you missed the point.
My point was that this man (from what little I could tell) was beyond happy and kind. He is a living legend. And on further reflection, my point was that he should absolutely be doing the chicken dance.
I apologize if I was offensive in any way. I meant it only as a compliment to who the man was, and to say that it made me reevaluate my opinions on appropriateness.
In response to your blog about Berthold Herpe's 100 Birthday party. You did not know my father. If you had you would have known that party was all about him and what he loved. You were a guest of a guest. You ask to come to this party. Dad loved the Chicken dance. He would carry the tape with him to make sure it would be played. If you were referring to the Marleena Ditrick act as inappropriate. Men have been taking garters off women for years at weddings. So, one last hurrah. Good for him. As for treating him as an infant, he could barely walk with a walker. His grandchildren help him a lot that night. He did not want to be seen in his wheelchair. We all love Opa and would do anything for him. We would never aloud him to be the butt of any joke. Whether coming from us or anyone else. Again if you had known my father he would not have allowed it ether. He was very aware of what was going on. The party was for my father. All the planning was for my father. It was every thing that he loved. The party was not so YOU could meet him. It was to celebrate his 100 years of life. It was well noted about Opa life and accomplishments.(re: Herpe Herald) We have received letters and phone calls saying what a wonderful party. They came from people who knew and loved him. I guess 1 unhappy guest out of over 200 isn't so bad. On your 2 blog you did apology for being offensive. However I could not see any compliment. In the future, if you can't say anything nice its best not to say anything. Walt Herpe
P.S. I found this blog while looking for obituaries. My dad passed away January 11, 2010. I'm glad that he did not see or hear about this blog. He would have been devastated.
