Congratulations, Aunt Nelda and Uncle Bill!

Dear Aunt Nelda and Uncle Bill,
I was a young kid when you two got married, so I don't have many stories to
share.  But, often at Grandma's house I would look at your high school
graduation picture, Nelda, and think how beautiful you were! I missed you
not being around.

Sherri did a great job of assembling the pictures on this website. They have
been so fun to look at. Your family had a "Brady Bunch" family photo similar
to ours, big hair and all...lol.  Also, did we all go through the same stage
with our long dresses where we looked a bit "hippie"? If these were the
"good ole days", why did we forget to smile - ha?!

One thing I can't help notice is how much younger and relaxed you both look
as you became grandparents. You, Bill, look younger without the beard, but
having grandchildren seems to suit you both. 

I wish you many, many more years of wedded bliss, health and happiness.
Thanks for allowing us to share in your special day.

With love, Karen (Walters) Rigel
