We gathered to celebrate Linda's birthday (and Steven's birthday, too) at one of our favorite restaurants in Greenwich Village, Casa DiPre.

Here is our cast of characters, from left to right.... Ruth, Charles, Linda (the birthday girl), Gus, Joel (yours truly), Susan, Steven (the birthday boy), Joe, and Bill.

Ruth, Charles, Joe and Bill are good friends of Steven- but also know Linda. Afterall, Linda is Steven's sister. Gus, Susan and I are good friends of Linda - but also know Steven. Cuzzie (Joanne), who is not in this picture, is Susan's cousin - and is also a friend of Linda's.

Now that the hard part is over... here are some photos taken that evening. click on any of the thumbnails below for a larger view.
