Of all the people I've worked with over the years, these are among the finest. The six of us - Bill, Jim, Frank, me, Marcia and Mardel - were employed at the same department in the mid and late-1990s and they are kind enough to keep me on the invite list for their holiday luncheon. 

Today, we met at the Grange, an impressive new restaurant located in an 88-year-old downtown office building that's been restored.
