Happy Birthday, John!
John Thompson turned 90 at the end of January, and his wife of 43 years, Elaine, threw him a huge surprise party at the TowneBank Great Bridge Community Room. Friends streamed into the open house over three hours, as John is very popular and well respected in the community and the Southside Lions Club. The party was catered by 29:11 Celebrations.
