As the 65 guests, including close friends, neighbors and relatives waited for the arrival of the guest of honor, they were served a variety of hors?d?oeuvres and refreshments.
Introductions were made by Randy Hopkins, the celebrant?s son-in-law, with special recognition to Shirley Melton for attending.
While a delicious Italian meal was enjoyed by the guests, Frank Bell, another son-in-law, read a genealogy of the Melton family and how they migrated to the area from North Carolina in 1799.
A decorated cake of both yellow and chocolate, was topped with a ?90? candle, was served with vanilla ice cream. Daughter Jo Lawson read a commemorative reading which included thoughts about the honoree and his exceptional values.
