Comments: Hi to all that read the dreambook I just had the opportunity to visit Shell Lake again on the 28th of February this year. It is too bad that we arrived so late at the hall and missed most of the festivities. We did get to see the guest of honor though. It is not often that we get to celebrate anyone's 100th birthday and I am so happy that we got to wish Florence Henderson a few more happy years. Kudos Florence! You are a grand lady.
