Niece Tess for singing.
Niece Bailey for being my emcee assistant and singing.
Nephew Tyler for kid entertainment.
Nephew Bennett for singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
AND....
Aunt Hazel and Aunt Gloria for being our legs in Ohio while we planned from RI and China and buying much of the food and supplies.
Aunt Hazel for making the delicious cakes.
Patty Lou Levering for helping to serve and organize the kitchen
Linda Robinette for helping to serve
AND...
those of you who came or sent wishes to my parents to honor them for their 50th

It was a great party. We were very glad that so many friends and family attended, and some from great distance. It was very meaningful for my parents. Their actual anniversary date is August 5 - we are keeping our fingers crossed that they will stay together until then, or we will have to rescind the party.



This is almost the whole family. We are missing my nephew Zach who could not attend because he is serving in the USAF.
