Day 5....

Had to post this photo today, since I just heard that one of my bridesmaids has passed away.  Jean Cushing, who is behind me, next to Judy. She became a well-loved teacher in Connecticut, and I had lost touch with her after our August, 1969 wedding. Sad but true....the internet is wonderful for finding people.
My other bridesmaids were cousin Shawn Gebel, dear friend Meri Bourgard, cousin Sue Brown, Jean, and sister Judy. this was taken in our parents' bedroom (!), just before our wedding at St. Paul's Lutheran in Amityville, NY. I was really hung over from too many champagne cocktails after our rehearsal dinner at Unqua Yacht Club the night before. Suddenly, the 11 a.m. service was just too early for me!! Luckily, I made it through, but I remember asking Peter to get me an aspirin in the limo.
