Here is Alan, finishing the setup of the back yard for the ceremony. We spent a couple of days preparing the house and backyard. Alan had done the landscaping and built the deck and hot tub areas just that summer.

Here are Gil and Pat after the ceremony in Pat's back yard. I knew Pat since 1971 when I returned from the Navy and Europe and she was dating a friend. We were fast friends from the beginning. Hanging out, traveling, dinners, having great times doing many things together.

I met Gil when Pat dated him after meeting in San Felipe on one of our many trips down there to party. Gil and I also immediately became close. Trips to Mexico, Stonehouse Basin, partying in Mission Beach, dinners, etc.

The ceremony is just over, Danny has the ring pad, friends are congratulating the newly married couple.

Pat surrounded by friends from work, and in the back center, Mercedes, Gil's mother.

Pat and a work friend sit with Gil on the deck.
