"Nearly
all our agents, and even staff people, are
working. Some have their children
coming in to help blow up the balloons,"
Barbara Pearce said.
Most of the
open houses will take place from 1 to 3
p.m., but some, including at the offices,
will start at 10 a.m.
Herb Pearce,
whose actual birthday was Friday, said he
is looking forward to the event.
"I'm
delighted and grateful that we have so many
dedicated people at our company who would
do this, and so many loyal clients who would
let us do it," he said. "I'm
looking forward to my 100th birthday so
I can really put them to the ultimate test."
The younger
Pearce said the company held a similar celebration
to mark her father's 80th birthday.
"People
hate turning 40 and 50, but nobody dislikes
turning 90. Not that many people get
to be 90," she said.
