How long have you been a friend?

Take a moment and think about who has been your really good friend for the longest amount of time. Has it been 10 years, 15 years, 20 years? Long time!

Well, all of these wonderful people are members of the Bon Ami Club. Marty's parents are members of this club and so is his aunt and many people we love very much. They have been meeting once a month since early 1960 for dinner together. That is 48 years! Atleast 576 dinners together. I find it absolutely amazing that they have all remained friends for so many years and that they carry on this fabulous tradition. Can you imagine how much has happened in all of their lives in the past 48 years? Marty wasn't even born yet when they started having "Club Parties".
This group includes Marty's parents, his aunt, his best friend's dad, one of Keith's former teachers, Brice and Keith's kindergarten teachers, Keith's grandparents on his mom's side of the family and so many absolutely amazingly wonderful people. (And yes, Marty's former in-laws and his parents are very good friends and I just love them both too. They are such truly good people.)
Their motto is "Bon Ami. Good Friends, For Life" I think they've stuck to the motto. :)
