Rose had a great time.

As did Bennie and Agnes who had only been married for 1-1/2 years.

On Saturday, July 10, 2004, Jim and Paulene celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with about 50 friends and relatives. The actual date was a bit further out, but they were going to be on a cruise then. Linda and Ilene arranged quite the party in the "Party Room" of the Park View apartments where Ilene lives, and Jim and Paulene want to move.

Here are Jim and Paulene cutting their cake.

Bron and Ilene, both extremely social and outgoing, talked it up several times during the party. Ilene and Linda put the whole thing together.

Don tending bar with Linda's help. This was a relief to me as I have had to do that so often, having spent my time behind a bar (not behind bars) when working at a ski area in my youth.
