40 Years Today

That day Aug 5th, 1967
Today, Aug 5th, 2007

A beautiful young girl and a dopey, slightly haired young man entered into something they had no idea what it was about.

40 yrs ago Karolyn and I met at the front of Immaculate Conception's main Aisle.

We looked at each other, passed the rings and said I do.

The party was at Builders Hall on central ave. It was during the Viet Nam war and some friends could not attend.

We did a couple stupid dances together and danced a lot with friends.

Had fun and stayed the entire night. I think we were the last to leave.
40 yrs of having fun and being the last to leave most parties has been our routine.

Today, downtown Chicago, they have a musical extravaganza called Lalapaloosa with 10 band shells going at one time.

The professional beach volleyball is going on.

Tonight, 4 children--3 grandchildren, sons and daughter in laws, will get together at Navy Pier. Which is between the above two events.

Our event will be celebrated at BUBBA GUMPS SHRIMP HOUSE.

Remember Forest Gump. Yep, that's it.

Too bad it can't be another 40 years. Its been a interesting fun ride.

THANK YOU KAROLYN.....I LOVE YOU, Jim
