Happy 99th Birthday!
Avid Toledo Mud Hens fan Virginia Miller, a 20-year resident of Sunset House, had a very special 99th birthday on June 10. She and her cousin Susan Keezer enjoyed the party held in Sunset House’s community room. While they were chatting with friends, Muddy the Mud Hen and his companion Muddonna arrived on the scene to surprise Miller and lead the singing of a birthday song and, of course, ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame.’ The Mud Hens Community Relations–Communications Director Rob Wiercinski presented Miller with an autographed baseball along with an uncut set of baseball cards. Miller said she has been a life-long baseball fan and was thrilled to be invited to throw out the first pitch at a Mud Hens game several years ago. She also notes that her first job in 1934 was to take care of a resident at the Sunset House.
