By: Rod Martin
Added: 12 September 2016
Members of the Tavistock Subscription Library and volunteers at Tavistock Museum sprang a surprise birthday party on Graham Kirkpatrick when he opened the door of the museum on Sunday morning 11th September 2016 to begin his stewarding duties. On entering the museum he found the welcome area decorated with balloons and bunting, music playing, a wide range of food and drink on the tables, and lots of people.
Graham who has been a stalwart supporter of both organisations was congratulated by his many friends on achieving the age of ninety (less one day since his birthday was on the following day Monday 12th September), and thanked for his long and loyal service to both organisations. Graham said that the party had been a complete surprise to him, but nevertheless a pleasant surprise, and he thanked everyone for coming. Also his special thanks to Sarah Smith, the museum's youngest volunteer, who organised the party.
