‘Happy Birthday to Sue’
COOPERSTOWN—Sue Drake was recently feted by friends at a luncheon at Bocca Osteria in celebration of her 85th birthday. Diane Richardson wrote of the event: “Interesting conversations flowed as we appreciated Sue and her long life and our many connections. In reply to an inquiry about Sue’s healthy habits, she recalled that during COVID, her daughter-in-law had taken on the challenge for both of them to walk 1,000 miles in a year. Sue was already walking in her neighborhood each day, so she upped her mileage to three miles a day. They each reached the 1,000-mile goal that year, and Sue still continues walking each day. Sue likes to travel and keep busy. This year, her adventure is a tour in Costa Rico that includes the rain forest along with the volcano. Gail Lewis baked a caramel cake for the desert.” In attendance were, from left: Karen Dunlap, Sue Drake, Diane Richardson, Daphne Mason, Liz Susman, Gail Lewis, Ann Roth, Jimmy Yurno and Maria Lazarich.
