GOING ON 20: County Supervisor Thomas F. Riley turned 80 Monday, and his staff surprised him with a party. . . . “There’s a lot of us,” Riley says of his age group. “And we still think pretty good too.” Riley, reflecting on his political career after a distinguished military career, says that when Gov.
