The Sherman family would like to thank the West Seattle Herald for your fine article about Merritt Sherman's 100th birthday party at Highland Park Elementary School. Not only was he honored there, but also by his family at the party we threw for him on his birthday Feb. 22 at the Kent Senior Center.
Over 100 attended, including nearly 80 of Merritt’s “closest” relatives. So there are many of us here in the area who appreciate the attention he got from your article last year, on his 99th birthday, and again this year.

Thank you.
The Sherman Family
