[edit]Diane, I commented on my talk page about the problem with sourcing the birthday material. I then found a book that pretty much described the event as you outlined it from your journal. I also found a passing allusion to the celebration in the Los Angeles Times. So, I've now added a few sentences about it. Frankly, I think it's a bit much (what Wikipedia calls WP:UNDUE) in the sense that it's probably too much detail for one event in the context of her life. However, I got a bit carried away (smile), and it did sound kind of magical. It looks like the main source, the book, isn't very highly thought of, but even if it's not scholarly, it seems to be reliable enough for this purpose. See what you think.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:36, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
