We celebrated Jim and Ann’s (Laurie’s parents) 70th wedding anniversary today.

We had a shindig

Jim with his Studebaker convertible. Ann wearing the dress she got married in.

Jim was in the Navy in San Diego in 1953. He didn’t want to have a blood test before they could get married, which was required in California, so they drove to Yuma, Arizona, to get married because pre-nuptial blood tests were not required in Arizona.

On their way to Yuma, AZ, to get married.

La Familia: Liz, Lea, Ann, Jim, Lane, and Laurie.

Happy 70th Anniversary!
