On July 25th I had a beautiful and wonderful day to celebrate my 90th birthday with about 60 of my relatives and friends at my son Rick's home and large back yard. I live with Rick and his family. The weather was perfect with a light breeze and practically no insects to bother us. We had 2 tents with with enough tables and chairs for everyone. There was a 70lb pig on a spit roasting over charcoal that we started at 10am. It is my son's recipe which includes stuffing the cavity with lemon rinds left over from making lemonade as the only seasoning. No salt or pepper was used. We served a buffet supper of Chinese cuisine and the delicious roast pork. Then came a very large birthday cake with two numeral candles of 90. During this whole time, the background music of the Big Band era was being played. Even the children had a fun time on the trampoline.
I have to thank Rick and his wife, Hedy, and their children for being so gracious and doing all the work that was involved. This was my last hurrah, and I don't believe I need to say more.
About Me
- Doctor Broz
- I am a Doctor of Medicine and graduated from Loyola Medical School in 1943. I got married in 1945, and went into the Army in July of 1945. I had the rank of Captain when I was discharged in June 1947. Then I entered into Family Practice in Franklin Park, IL until 1981. Then I worked part time in a clinic in Woodruff, WI until 1987. With the partial loss of my hearing, I was forced into full retirement. I like to sing, and I was a member of the Lakeland Barbershop Chorus for 21 years. I also love to grow vegetables, from tomatoes to watermelon. I love the outdoors, and especially love our lake home, where I am close to nature and God. This being my 90th year, and with my large and wonderful family, I would like to introduce a new identity, "The Broz Dynasty." There are about 60 of us now, and we are still growing. Our motto is "Peace and Love."
