Walter Mitchell, 105, stood up, made a wish and blew out the candles to his birthday cake in thedining room on Thursday at noon.

He sat down and the lady who wheeled in his sheetcake said his wish was about to come true.

Into the room tip-toed a dark-haired beauty in bare feet and bells — wearing a bedlah.

Belly dancer Alicia Sinicrope of Quincy shook, swayed and shimmied to exotic music.

Walter was so happy he wiped his eyes.

The Lynn native said it reminded him of his days in the Navy.
