Seventy-seven years ago today, October 25, 1947, my parents were married in a private civil ceremony in Los Angeles. They remained married until my father's passing on May 7, 1981. My mother passed away April 14, 2018.
They were old school, salt of the Earth, people. Together; through hard work, tenacity and determination, they sought and found the American Dream.
They were two imperfect people just like the rest of us but they stayed together and they built a life together. It was a simple life. A good life.
Happy Anniversary mom & dad. We still miss you and we still love you!
The first photo is from their first date in 1947 at the Avadon Ballroom in Downtown Los Angeles. The second was in 1978 during a road trip to Lake Tahoe.
