As 2025 moved toward its conclusion Susan and I became more and more grateful for the 50 years we’ve enjoyed with each other and our family, friends, and colleagues since we married on December 27, 1975. Our family all gathered together at our home in Rochester during the week to celebrate our Savior’s birth on Christmas and then followed through two days later with an extended family banquet at the Rochester Yacht Club to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. We’ve had a wonderful time together, catching up on “the latest” and reminiscing about our lives together over the years.

For those who might be interested, I’ve included links below to our 2025 Christmas Card and the slideshow we premiered at our Anniversary banquet. To download these, just scroll to the two pictures at the bottom of this page and click on the one of the left to open a PDF of our Christmas Card or to the one on  the right to open our Anniversary slideshow. We tried to compile some of the more memorable events we’ve shared over the past 5 decades in our Anniversary show but were only able to condense it down to 360 slides, so be prepared to take some time going through it! Below are a few pics as a teaser…
