I've never been to, "An Evening ............. ", but there are people who go, people who enjoy &/or people who are interested................and the Morse family takes the time to have these Evenings.
People who go don't need to explain/justify WHY?.
The presented information is never enough.
Each Morse generation will be different than the prior (as with all families) and will bring different ideas.
Labels are funny: Adoration, Gratitude, Brown Nosing, Respect.
