one of the best Retirement Parties Ever in Pismo Beach

         One of the best retirement parties EVER! .. We work with the City of Pismo Beach on so many fun events every year but this night was different. Kevin Rice has been the City mgr. for Pismo beach for as long as I can remember but his service to the Country was always part of his life with 30 years in the Army with the rank of Colonel, then on to a long Stint Traveling the world for the U.S. in China, (This guy is no joke). He is however one of the nice guys you meet so rarely when you deal with Government, a real leader who leads.
          They roasted Kevin all night with stories jokes and gifts that kept us laughing as he sat on a Gold throne."They" being people like the Mayor of Pismo, the Police Chief, The Fire Chief, City Council Members and Department Heads. All of this after a wonderful meal prepared for us by
Huckleberry's restaurant in Pismo, one of my favorite places to recover over breakfast on Sunday's (that's a big Yum). 
           We wrapped up the evening with dancing and said good Luck and Thank You to a true public servant who when I asked him at a Christmas Party in December what he was going to do after, simply said (with a smile), "I'm going to spend some time with My Wife." The best answer ever. .......DJ Bob
