About 30 people were there to surprise Bivens, who came from Tellico Plains for the dinner and immediately had her eyes fill with tears when she saw everyone gathered. "I didn't have a clue. I thought it was my hundredth birthday," Bivens joked as she settled in to enjoy the good times. See full story in the Sunday, March 17, edition of The Advocate & Democrat.
