Linda and Sharon gave us the MOST WONDERFUL celebration party for our 50th Wedding Anniversary.  Included were family members and very close friends.

The evening had many surprises.  The first surprise awaited us as we entered the reception of The Petroleum Club! - It was a beautiful album with pictures from our 50 years of marriage, compiled by both Linda and Sharon. This has given us many hours of joy and we re-live so many happy times.

Then it was the greeting of so many of our dear friends and family.  Close friends from Houston joined us and Ted and Judy Seman flew in from Florida for the occasion. Family members came from Louisiana (Shreveport and Jena), Texas (Dallas) and Missouri. A wonderful treat for us was the presence of Sammie Kay Smith Stewart, who now lives in Houston. She was in our wedding, and we had not seen her since then.

Once we were seated, we were treated to more memories with a slide show of pictures going back 50 years! It turns out that Hardy had chosen the music for this. This brought tears to everyone's eyes.

The Petroleum Club served a beautiful meal, which had been chosen by Linda and Sharon.

There were toasts and tributes and then the cutting of the cake. The Chef at The Petroleum Club had recreated our wedding cake from a picture! It was amazing.

The following day we were able to share lunch at our home and have more visiting time with our family and out-of-town friends.

The memories will last forever!
