[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I mean this politely, but are you absolutely sure the GP truly want to attend?  I ask because at 83, my own mom no longer attends these types of things.

She hates crowds, has many preferences (aisle seat, for one) is slower moving and is the type who'll happily write a check, send a card, come to the grad party, but sitting in a convention hall or school for over an hour is entirely too much for her.  [/quote]

It is so funny how people in the same age range can have different preferences.

My parents and FIL would be stampeding up the aisle as fast as they could to get to their preferred seats up front and center.  Actually, if it was crowded, my mom would using her cane to whack the people in line ahead of her, and my Dad and FIL would be using their canes to holding back the crowd to give her room to swing.  Then they would assist each other over the fallen.  At that point it would become all very gracious, "Here, let me help you, my dear."  My momma might be tiny but she is mighty, and those old boys are happy to let her do the heavy lifting.  Just joking about the whacking with the cane … NOT!

But I agree that OP should poll the affected parties to get a feel for their preferences.  It may be much ado over nothing.[/quote]
