... my wife and I were married ...
She is headed for Sainthood !!! grin

Our wedding was the day after John F. Kennedy was killed. I was working as a computer operator for a Wall St. brokerage firm and because of our planned honeymoon, was the only person in the company who was allowed to take vacation the following week.

Congratulations. I remember that day so well, not because of your marriage, but because I watched the shootings live on tv. Now I'll remember both!
Got married one year later in December 64. And, in 71. And in 80. smile

Thanks, guys ... It's been a journey, but that's the fun of it ...

Don, we spent the Monday of our honeymoon watching the funeral ...
Interesting history, Don ... wink

Jerry, fortunately, we've gotten past the 'gift giving' stage ...

65 was our year. Annie says we lasted because of the music business. If I had been home, I'd be LONG GONE!

Kind of afraid to retire!

congrats, folks.

Tony, Sorry on picking this up late. Congratulations on 55. St. Lydia has a nice ring to it.

I remember the day JFK was killed. I was in the 7th grade, the school broadcast the news reporting via the PA system.
