Lauren Ritchie sings and dances to theme music from Men in Black, as she points to her alien son, John Ricthie, 2 ½ years old, and husband, John, waves to the huge crowd at the 12th annual Goodland Boat Parade to benefit Avow Hospice on Feb. 16. It was the sixth parade for the parents. They come from Newmanstown, Pa. to visit with John's parents, John and Elaine Ritchie. Elaine has been the parade chairman for many years.
