Celebrating a Legacy

This day, 45 years ago, was my parents wedding day.

They met during the summer between their Freshman and Sophomore years in college. My dad was looking for a partner to help him teach ballroom dancing the next year, and a friend suggested my mom as someone who liked to dance. She auditioned with him in her living room in Villa Park, IL, while both of their mothers watched.

He told his mom as they left that day, "I'm going to marry that girl someday."

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for continuing to give us an outstanding example of marriage, love, and commitment for us and for our children.

Happy 45th Anniversary! Keep on dancing!
