The Meal

If anyone is wondering how much 120 people (mostly young and athletic) can eat, it is a lot. I thought we had enough food for 150 to 175 people. I was wrong I had just enough for 120. There were a few things we ran out of, but we mostly scraped by with the bare minimum left.

I would like to thank Elise Jordan-Robichaud for doing the salads, Stacy for keeping the serving line full and all the others for doing the extraneous jobs that allowed me to concentrate on the main courses.

I would also like to thank Rob and Simone for the opportunity to do what I do.
