41 Years and Counting

41 years ago tonight, Ruth and I tied the knot. My Pastor, Dad, and Ruth's Pastor, Loren Robinson, were the officiants. Two of my cousins, and two of my uncles, were my groomsmen. The two cousins, Rod Wisdom, my best man, and David Queen, still live in St Louis County. My Uncle Don still lives in Jackson MO; my Uncle John still lives in Benton MO.

Ruth's attendants were her two cousins, Rebecca Varble Hanlon, still of Chaffee MO; Sherry Huey of Cape Girardeau; my sister Esther of St Charles County; and Carol Proffer of Millersville MO, the maid of honor. Carol is the only participant in the wedding we have lost contact with.

Music was provided by singers Charlotte Moore of Ellington MO, and Tom Beck. The organist was Tom Sieberg. Everyone did a wonderful job. The ceremony remains a wonderful memory.
