Going All Out for the 47th Anniversary-- Part 1

Today marks the 47th anniversary of our wedding back on August 25, 1973.  That makes 47 years for those of you counting.

We got married at the Newman Center at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb and then  had our wedding reception at the DeKalb Holiday Inn on Illinois Highway 39, the Lincoln Highway and then that night, drove all the way out to the Mississippi River where we went to the Palace Motel.  We arrived about 2 am and our room had been left open for us.

I had just signed my contract to teach in Round Lake, Illinois, the day before and we had our rehearsal dinner at a Algauers in Mount Prospect on Milwaukee avenue.

To say this was a busy few days for me is a bit of an understatement.

Our honeymoon was cut short and I had to start teaching three days later.
