Fireworks were set off to celebrate

Don's son, Russell Biesecker, was a party DJ with strobe lights and giant speakers

The nighttime mid-September weather was in the upper 40's, about normal.  People moved inside because of the cold.  The New York average low for the same date is about 63 degrees

Two birthdays were being celebrated; Donald Biesecker's and Helton Depaulo.  Helton made caipirinhas and many guests had too much of them.  Sherri fell off here shoes, Helton became loveable. Jeanette Ayres became insufferable and ended up insulting friends and family alike

Helton's 2001 birthday, his 50th on September 13, was not celebrated with a party because of the 9/11 World Trade center tragedy.  The 2002 parties made up for it
