Here's To Us

Twenty-one years ago today, on a beautiful sunny afternoon, Kathie and I were married just inside the lobby of the UI Theater building. We were blessed to have our children and lots of good family and friends around us. The years since have been very happy ones, as the pictures below will attest. Lots and lots of smiles came from the many happy occasions, celebrations, travels, and times together that we have shared. We appreciate the support that our children and friends have always shown us.

How can one possibly measure the very positive difference that another has made in their life? Kathie has been an extraordinary life companion and has helped me in so many ways to achieve, enjoy, benefit, survive, appreciate, thrive, value, ... Most of all, she has loved me, in spite of all my warts and flaws, both the visible and invisible ones. I love her and treasure her friendship and place in my life more than it is possible to express, and I hope that we will be able to share many, many more years to come.




















Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!
