Another surprise party of note was held at the West Van home of Geri Stimpson and her devel- oper-husband Fred, for their close friend, Lynda Rowland, who was celebrating her 40th birthday.

Lynda is the wife of Scott Rowland, owner of Luminescence, the lighting store on Argyle in West Van. She, like Mary Smith, was just astounded! She did not expect it!

Some of those attending in the party theme of midnight blue and silver were tour company owner Glyn and Emily Edwards, lucky fisherman Dr. Ehor Boyanowski, singer Signi Murgatroyd and her lawyer-husband, Michael, and Anita and Hart Mofthagen, who recently sold their O’Doul’s Hotel and Restaurant on Robson but are still managing the complex, and who are building a new waterfront home in Lions Bay...

It was just as exciting an evening for Chartwell Drive’s Dr. Del St. John and Jane, his lovely bride of 25 years. Their family got together for a surprise Silver Anniversary dinner at the Teahouse this past Monday night, after having the happy couple picked up by limo for a romantic drive around Stanley Park.

Their children had even arrang- ed with owner Brent Davies to have candelabra and red roses on the table, while their chocolate anniversary cake, flower-bedecked and iced in white chocolate, was created by Julie furke’s Everything Done Right Catering in North Vancouver. Jane and Del hated to cut into it, it was so beautiful...
