Lunch was served at 1PM, at the Longhorn Barbeque on Argonne Road.
This is a Draft. Notes about attendees? The Menu?
We enjoyed a Longhorn buffet compliments of Virginia. The Longhorn goes way back. We had lunch at Longhorn before or after placing Dad's ashes in the niche. Uncle Bob Coffey used to buy us "Longhorn" take-out, and then take credit for "doing the cooking tonight" or some such wording. He also treated us to Chinese ford in the same way.

John says: Ands that was just part way through the first day! I'd like to transcribe the whole thing. I haven't found the photos from it yet, or if I did, I didn't realize what I was looking at when I handled them. It would be great to combine photos from their trip with the journal entries. --JM
