Happy birthday Judy Braatz

Happy birthday, Judy Braatz! (or should I say, "brirthday"? Heh). I only hope

Judy, the membership coordinator for the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce, turned 50 with panache this weekend with a party at the Holiday Inn South. Now I normally wouldn't be writing about birthday parties on here, but Judy is the star much of Rochester business orbits around.

Anyway, my wife Valerie and I stopped in at the bash for awhile and had a great time chatting with folks.

Here's a pic of Judy breaking in the dance floor with the first dance of the night with the debonair Sandy Keith, the leader of the Rochester Downtown Alliance and political icon. And the song was by The Carpenters - "We've Only Just Begun," of course.

And here's a couple more pics of Judy through the years (or during the last year or two at business events):
