Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends and additional relatives gathered the past June to express their individual and shared love of Virginia Chapman. This year Virginia entered the 85 years-plus age group, which represent 1.7% of the total population. In California, her new group is a little smaller, 1.4%.
This special woman did not become special just by entering this small, special population group. Virginia has been a special love one, for so many, all her eighty-five years. She generates a feeling of privilege in those who know her.

I hope to finish editing a video of the event soon.
