STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Lakeland Park & Lakeland Shores Sharon Gacek 385-3777 Surprise Party Marks Fiftieth While Max Koch was out bowling with his sons, Michael and Danny, wife, Shirley was busy directing traffic in front of their home for Max's surprise birthday party. After manipulating the cars and filling the house with people, the waiting for the un­ suspecting guest of honor was at a minimum. Max walked into the family room with his sons to find the room loaded with company shouting "Surprise". Max turned to his sons and wanted to know if they knew all along. Among the sixty people that attended were Jack and Pat Brennen of St. Charles who Max has not seen in ages; his Mom, Maria Koch; his sister Dorothy and brother-in-law Joe May, and of course his children, Michael, John, Danny, Michele, Mark, Jamie, Trudy, Cissy and Max. He tried on all his shirts; was happy with all the "mouthwash and shampoo"; was in state of shock when they brought in the "nine foot submarine sand­ wich", and enjoyed his beautiful cake that had "Happy Fiftieth, Maxie Baby" written across the top. A good time was had by all and Shirley was very pleased that everything worked out just the way she planned. Happy fiftieth, Maxie Baby!
