Mum and I are in South Africa to document the life and times of my great grandfather, Vincent Lawrence (1872-1965). Lawrence worked with Gandhi when the Mahatma was first starting out in South Africa, and he was also involved in the struggle against apartheid, and helped found St. Anthony's Church in Durban.
I've been helping Mamma prepare her slides for a talk she's going to give at her big birthday party this Saturday. Mum was born on a leap day, so she'll be officially 19 (that's 76) on Friday. The party is on Satuday, from 3-6 pm. Currently, we've got 114 confirmed guests. Mum will give a short speech about her life, and there will be plenty of food, as well as cake, and a champagne toast. Feel free to leave her a birthday wish in the comments below!
