With our parents living far away in Seattle and Chicago, and neither financially flush, it fell to Mary and I to plan for the wedding, make arrangements, and pay the bills.  As with many such things in our married life, most of this fell on Mary and she carried if off beautifully.
Married five minutes, just out the doors of the Menlo Park Presbyterian Church.

The wedding party: Ina, Gay Barnes, Marcia Pagels, Mary & Herb, Fred Storke, Al Truitt, Walt Baldasti

Beautiful Mary, with wedding bouquet and cake

Mary is too nice to smash the cake into my face.


Herb, just as nice but not as skillful.

Those of Mary's family at the wedding: brothers Herb and Vern; Mom, and Pop

Mary and I hosted a dinner for the wedding party and friends and family from Los Angeles, Seattle, and Chicago.

... and, with four children and a lot of hard work, we lived happily ever after.
