Okay we have talked a little bit about the person's life that we are giving this speech for in relation to where they were born and the history of something having to do with their birth. Now we're going to take a look at noteworthy developments. And when I say the words noteworthy development what I'm really talking about is in terms of the family as a whole. Noteworthy developments are like weddings or marriages if you will. Children, grandchildren. What has gone on in this person's life with relation to family. Their family ties. And you might, if they have children you definitely might want to mention that. Maybe they don't have children but they love their dog just like it was a child. You could mention that as well. But keep this part related to family. And you always want to make sure that you congratulate the family as well. A funny thing, my sister every year on her birthday, she sends my Mother flowers. Well this is the same kind of thing. Without the parents the person wouldn't exist. So give a big congratulations to all the family members that are present or involved in that person's life. Now we're going to have a little fun.
