I asked Karen for things she remembered about me and Katy and me and Kristy. Here is a story about Kate. I’m not sure, but I think it was her 13th birthday. (turns out it was her 15th birthday – see Katy’s comment) She had a friend in the ward that she hung out with, so on my way home from work, I stopped and picked up the friend (Sheila Romreil). Katy was curious when I brought home her friend but she had no idea of what was coming.
About 5 or 5:30, this limo pulled up in our drive way. I told Katy, this was her ride to Young Women’s that night. She was really excited. I had hired the limo for one hour. It took her all around Rochester and stopped at the home of other friends she had and, I think, picked up some other kids. The limo gave them all a ride to Young Women’s. I think this was one of Katy’s more memorable birthday presents. I think we have pictures of it somewhere, but I haven’t seen them in a long time.
Unfortunately, I only had the limo for the trip in to Young Women’s. I still had to go pick her up since I had the car for just one hour. Still it was a great evening. Kate, if you can add anything to this story, I’d appreciate it.

Hi Dad!
YES, of course I remember this present! But it was my 15th birthday and it was awesome. I think it was Sheila Romriel that you picked up and honestly, I have no clue who else! I have a horrible memory. But it was so much fun. Definitely seemed like more than an hour. I remember closing the glass that separated us from the driver and feeling like I was being mean.
Thank you for a wonderful birthday Mom and Dad! It was definitely memorable.
Love ya,
Kate
I totally remember this too, because I was completely JEALOUS of Kate & her friends.
I remember just looking inside it before they left and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. What a great mom and dad for coming up with that special idea. 
By the way I still have never been in a Limo…..
