On the 24th Bill and Maggie Meyers observed their fiftyeighth wedding anniversary. They were joined by their immediate family to celebrate the occasion. Not quite as long, but just as happy, I'm sure, for Pete and Emma Freund on the 27th. They celebrated number 4S. Add the two together and it comes out a 107 years of wedded bliss. All of us from our town send ever so many happy wishes for continued health and happiness to both of these couples. They must have the right formula as all four are just as healthy and good looking as anyone has a right to be. And so it is for another week. Be sure to take care of yourselves so we can all meet right here again next time.
