| Well, sort of. Me and the missus 28th anniversary is today. One of my best friends wife set us up on a blind date to get the whole ordeal started. Haven't figured out yet whether to thank her or beat her. But I guess it has just about withstood the test of time. I can't believe how the years flew by. Here we are with four adult children and two of the most fun grandsons on the planet. Darrel |

Just think Darrell, had you done as a Friend of mine suggested would have been free and single for eight years now with time off for good behavior. All kidding aside, Congrats, my own honey and I enjoyed our 34th this year last June. |

Congratulations! It can be a fun ride, or a miserable one, just depends on the guy your bride chose to marry! Or so my wife says ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Darrel, CONGRATS you ole pfart. The war dept. and I have been together
forever..... I met her when she worked at the B&K Rootbeer stand
next door to my Uncle's Shell station in 1967. I was under the grease
rack and my buddies and I were talking about her. I said I sure would
like to get into,,,,,,,well, you know,,,,,,,and two seconds later I turn
around and there she stands..........with my order....   .Like Joe says, it's not been all fun and games. It's a hard road and I've spun my tires lots of times, but the ride was well worth it. We have 5 kids, 12 Grandkids; 8 boys - 4 girls, and 3 Great Grandchildren...all girls. LOVE em ALL!! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
