families are important to each of us. When you have children, one thing you wish for is that they will marry someone who will fit comfortably into your family. My daughter-in-law Cindy is celebrating her 40th birthday. She has become such an important part of the close-knit Reid family that I can't imagine what our lives would be like if my son hadn't married her. Cindy has been a loving and thoughtful partner to my son Rory, and a wonderful mother to my grandchildren, Ryan, Savannah and Mason. She is an excellent teacher for her children, and a professional college teacher as well. She is a perfectionist of sorts, and when she sees a problem, she doesn't complain . . . she solves the problem. Cindy's appreciation of literature is a goal I seek. And her opinions about food, music, movies and politics are always insightful. One of the great blessings of having Cindy in our family has been the opportunity to become friends with her unique and wonderful mother, Helen, and her thoughtful and considerate father, Dean. On this the celebration of two-score years, Landra and I wish Cindy a world of health and happiness, and the knowledge that she has our support and never-ending love.
