2007

This year should be a memorable year for us. In April I will mark my 80'th birthday (I cannot believe this). August 5th will mark our 60'th wedding anniversary and we will ask our family and close friends to join us at our Church, with brunch afterward at our house. Also this year will be my brother Wren's 40'th anniversary with his Virginia (this will total 100 years for us brothers - a record for this family).   It will also mark our 47'th year to live in our home in Baton Rouge.

We are now making plans to celebrate by taking another cruise to the eastern Mediterranean for 10 days starting September 25th at Rome. After the cruise we want to combine a week in a villa in the Tuscany area of Italy with Wren and his Virginia. We hope our friends from Milan (Betty and Antonio) can join us for a few days while we are there.

This will be a total of 25 days in our favorite part of Europe with part of our family, and our very closest Italian friends
