Surprise Party
There was a surprise 60th birthday party for Gary Plummer July 22 given by his daughters, Sarah and Miranda. He was serenaded with props and lyrics adapted from the Lennon and McCartney song “When I’m 64.” This was designed to foster the maximum humiliation! There were about 30 party goers and his most memorable gift was a stuffed elephant with the name “TABOR” on its collar. This was a subtle hint from a constituent.
