What a great way to cheer up the hearts of a couple of oldsters! Having the family get together for a few days was really great. The following pictures document only a small part of the get together but we hope they will serve as a reminder of the event. Many, many more pictures were taken by the participants and this really helped out - I had my camera on manual focus by mistake for part of the time so the picture of the whole family in attendance is one that Tom took (mine was not in very good focus.)

What a great family and to think it all started with a "storybook courtship full of romance and wonderment."
ReplyDeleteThanks to mom and dad for everything and congratulations on 60 years together.
I'm still thankful that the Boxelder School District superintendent let Mom out of her contract. Was he inspired? Did he realize that he was an integral cog in the romantic machinery of John and Norda's courtship and marriage? Did he have a vision of the prodigious progeny to be produced?
ReplyDeleteWe may never know.
Thanks again to everyone for the wonderful time.
