Here is my father in law, book ended by his 2 sons (my husband Ken is on the right). The occasion is his 100th Birthday! He had just given a very sweet speech saying how thankful he was that so many of his family had gathered for the little party. It was quite a celebration.

100 years! Amazing! I don't think I have ever met someone who is 100 years old, although my grandfather made it to 97.

That is a great shot! I remember when my grandfather turned 100 - he didn't look nearly as good as your father-in-law! *smile* You're lucky to have been there to celebrate this milestone. I bet that he has some great stories to tell.
