Where were you 40 years ago tonight April 19, 1975? Can't remember?
I sure do.
I was at the Portland Club with Elenka and our families. Now, I know where Judith, Anthony, Marchin, Joanne, Connie, Irv, Joe, Candy, Vera, Lisa, Anna Marie, Patty, Peter, Tom, Charlie, Judy, John, Irene, David, Jennifer, Susan, Lisa, Ron, Joy, Peter, Gina, Steve, our parents, grandparents and many, many other friends and family were. It was a long-awaited, memorable evening. The next morning we were off to Bermuda and the rest of our life together.
But where were you?
What a sweet drawing! A memorable evening indeed! Happy, happy Annversary. Where was I? Taking care of a 7 and 5 year old, getting ready to embark on a very satisfying teaching career. Yes, very memorable times but yours is truly a milestone. Going to Bermuda again??
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 40th Wedding Anniversary! I remember that day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. I'm with Kate. You both are entitled to another trip to Bermuda.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your anniversary! I was probably studying for my finals before going to the university...
ReplyDeleteForty years? I'm smiling at the thought of such a wonderful anniversary. Thanks for sharing. Also, thanks for your good wishes on the comment at my blog. Here's a neat update: I won a Portland Trail Blazers' autographed basketball from my friend the Portland Trail Blazers' official DJ--O.G. One--as a result of my having donated to his Team OG 2015 team for the local Autism Walk! I'm in shock because I had no idea such a thing was a possibility! Lamont and Leland don't know it yet--they are bouldering up in Leavenworth, Washington, camping out--but they will be picking it up from DJ O.G. One before the game begins here on Saturday night. Wowsers!
ReplyDeleteI have no words to tell you how great the last 40+ years have been. Love you forever my Birdman. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great testimonial for your 40+ years together! May you have many more happy and healthy years together! Celebrate with abandon today and tonight. Toast to both of you!!

ReplyDeleteI was in Phoenix and probably planning dinner for my mother. April 19 was her birthday!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations of a milestone anniversary. Somehow I think this marriage is going to last. May there be another 40 to come.
ReplyDeleteI bet you had more hair back then -- I know I did.
ReplyDeleteStudying and writing papers, no doubt. Sorry. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! Forty years is a testament to true love.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteMy parents celebrated 67 years last week! Congrats to you two - you seem to be perfect for each other. ;-))
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! We have been married 48 years. In 1975 we were right here in Brockport and my husband was working in administration at the college. Judging from what Elenka wrote, you have made her very happy for those 40 years. Where did birdman come from?
ReplyDeleteHappy Aniversary...
ReplyDeleteApril 19, 1975, probably studying in sophomore year in college. Congratulations on your anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI was six years old. Likely in bed already....
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!
Wow, so romantic and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWho did the drawing?
I was in Bangor, in a past life... but that's all I know...
Elenka. Who else.
DeleteProbably at home doing homework.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. It's an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteSure it ws you and not the Beatles getting married?
I was probably ensconced in a beanbag with a cup of hot milo watching Count Down on TV.
ReplyDeleteHappy 40th anniversary :)
I wasn't around yet... but happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteLove your handmade "photo". :)
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteApril 19, 1975 was a Saturday (I looked it up), two days before the running of the Boston Marathon. So, on the 21st, the answer would have been I was watching the Boston Marathon, which went down Commonwealth Avenue just down the street from the house we bought (near Boston College) the previous November. On Saturday, though, I was likely either at the office grinding away trying to make an impression as a young lawyer, or I was working on the house.
ReplyDeleteBut, YOU were doing something fun. You got a good one in Elenka.
