Two days after I finished the LT was my folks' 50th wedding anniversary. They were married on a very hot July 30, 1960, in New Athens, Illinois, where my mother was born and raised. My dad had just returned from serving 13 months in Saudi Arabia while in the Air Force. I think they are adorable in this photo. :)
Best man definitely looks like Air Force! 50 years is such an accomplishment; when my parents reached it (1993), I thought I'd have to get married right away and live to be 85 to make it. Now it's closer to 100.
