The plastic case containing the DVD of the gala 100th Birthday Party for Bill Quinn arranged by Rix & Erica Quinn. The design of the case is up to the same quality as was the affair and as is the DVD. The photographer did a splendid job taking the video and producing the DVD. I watched the entire program and even though I was there for the party, I enjoyed again seeing Bill, his loving family and his friends/neighbors having such a good time and wishing Bill a Happy Birthday and continued good health & happiness. It is obvious that Bill has touched the lives of many in a positive manner, as he has my life. I thank Bill for his goodness and generosity.
