THE PARTY AT NICK’S CAFE

 

The event at Nick's Cafe, Redwood Shores, April 3, 1998.

Jules Willis will never eat at Nick's Cafe again!?!

Ken Clemens, Neil Watts do a gig .  . .

Ken Clemens Does A Roast

Ken Clemens tells about Jules' 19+ years of service. For this, he says, Jules can’t just leave; a few things he should have.

Jules gets a Nevada Bob's gift certificate. (He was to get a putter; Angel tried to find what putter Jules needed, ended up getting one of Jule’s old putters.)

And Pays For It

 

Pays More. . .

Jules is now a retiree, Ken says; he should use the right tools. Ken handed Jules a dozen SENIOR golf balls.

Neil says that one of Jules' big projects was to make the instruction manual "smaller." And so. .  .

Really Small Books

. . .the instruction manual got small. (Angel had been seen feverishly working at the  copier, reducing the IM.)

Finally, Ken delivers the coup de grace. Jules gets his retirement plaque.

I'd Rather Have The Cash

"If I had my life to live again, I'd be here once more."

The plaque now hangs on the  wall in Jules' home office.
