After 27 long years at Commonwealth Edison, Dad retired to devote all his time to the ministry.  A few of his fellow employees were gracious enough to honor him with a banquet.  Close to 60 guests including fellow employees, friends, and family gathered at the Wyndham Drake in Oak Brook, IL for the banquet.
