The cake	The attentive Tour 3 crew	Well, most were awake
Not the Tour 3 we used to be	Checking the cake	Dean about to orate
Gimme some!	Aww, shucks	Disgruntled postal employee
Marian takes a nap while pizza boy outside is aghast	Randall makes his move	Get outa the way
Full frontal lobal nudity	Good cake!	Not focused, typical postal operation
Carl, the cake's alreay baked	Watch your hand, Glenn!	More full frontal lobal nudity
The end, but it aint over	Dean's present	So this is what I get for 18 years work!?

Jake's Second Retirement Party There was more cake at the September 14, 2003 meeting of APWU Local 667 when Jake was honored for his service to the union and his retirement. He received a congratulatory card which enclosed a check for $100 to go along with the cake. Everyone had a great time. Photos by Monica Singletary and Jake Lamkins.

Another cake and just as good as the first!	Gini gives Jake his card which Loren finds funny	Loren is amazed at Jake's cutting skills
Paul, Monica & Royce starting a rumor	Charlie and Carol starting another rumor	Paul supervises the cake operation while Vicky looks on
Manuel taste tests the cake while the rest wait to see it's okay	It doesn't look like the cake hurt him	Charlie shows everybody how it's done
Gini, Lynn and Chuck make up a contented group	Yes, it was a real good cake
