You only live once, so when popular Peachlander Albert Galpin celebrated his 93rd birthday on Feb, 14 he did it in a “go big or go home” style: he invited the whole town. Joined by his wife Bernice, son Alfie and 50 or so friends and family members (his son Eddie was not able to attend) the former barber and beloved local musician celebrated at the Blue Rooster on Beach Avenue. The event, which also coincided with Valentine’s Day, included a BBQ buffet lunch prepared by the Blue Rooster and a giant homemade birthday cake prepared by Blue
Rooster owner/operator, and Galpin family friend, Charlette Broadoway and Janice Hancharuk.
