Their 50th Anniversary was celebrated with 100
friends and family with an eloquent dinner and great wines.
This Anniversary will be celebrated at their home in San Mateo,
California with their family offering virtual congratulations and
dinner will be a take-out from one of their favorite restaurants and
the wine will be from a local winery.
My how times have changed!
