25th Anniversary Week - Preliminary Post

This Thursday October 16th will be Karen and my 25th wedding anniversary. Before I talk about that let me recall my parents 25th anniversary. They were married September 8, 1946 so their 25th was in 1971. I was a 22 year old student at City College while my sister Joyce was an 18 year old student at that time. We chipped in with my Aunt Belle to have a surpise party for them at Caesar's Restaurant in Rego Park. There were about 30 people there. My folks were really surprised. They had no inkling that we were planning anything since we did it in August. I remember one of my father's friends Willie, had a little bit too much to drink, so I had to drive him home.
