Portrait I painted of Pamela and Tracy on  Chesapeake Baysailing with Dr Kelly and Linda Drake who are mirrored in their dark glasses.

I have never really understood why the 50th birthday is such a big deal. And possibly it isn’t to everyone, but in my family it is the time for extra big celebration. I found these pictures of my daughter Pamela on her 50th birthday and thought you might enjoy seeing them.

She along with her husband Tracy Drake ( he already had his 50th party) their daughters Evin and Sarah lived on Quaker Lane Salem Ohio where Tracy was CEO of the Columbiana county Port Authority located on the Ohio River at East Liverpool and Pamela had her psychiatry office north west of town next to the Salem Hills golf club.

So here are Pamela’s 50th birthday pictures taken at their home on Quaker Lane.
