For her birthday today my sister Gloria Rae Huizenga requested my birch trees tie, with the Atlantic style knot. I'm very happy to comply with my big sister's wishes!

Twenty years ago today I attended the wedding of Richard (Dick) and Carolyn Kleppinger! Over these years they have lived in Virginia, Florida, Alabama, and now Florida again. They chose my "elegant vine" tie for me to wear today, and Dick asked me to try out the "Atlantic" knot. It's quite elegant, and not very difficult. Happy 20th Anniversary!
