NOW PLAYING: KINGSTON TOWN (INSTRUMENTAL VERSION) On Sunday, 18 April, VetteMan & I opened a box that had arrived from Christine Sheffer-Votel. Inside was a wonderful "Good Wishes Book" with quotes from many of my Airedale-and-other-dog-lovin' friends, along with quotes from this website, telling about the proposal, why I chose a diamond over a Corvette, and many pictures of Airedales, Parrots, Palm Trees, Flip-Flops, Tropical Drinks, etc., etc. I brought it to work and everyone ooh'd and aah'd over it . . . thank you so much, everyone who sent good wishes to be included in the Book, and to Christine for all the work she put into this lovely gift. We plan to bring it to the Ceremony and let others appreciate it, too. THE PROGRAM Cover: Inside Left: Some References Explained: We'd like to move to a different LATITUDE; we've both changed our ATTITUDE towards marriage (it took only 22 years). And our ATTITUDEs certainly change when we're in warmer LATITUDEs. Some References Explained: Special Thanks: Frank is The Bartender from Oz; Joyce also works at Reuther Central High School and helped Paul with food shopping, cooking; & serving. Chris, Jane & Ann are, respectively, The Ring Artist, The Tropical Florist, & The Cake Decorator. Inside Right: Back: Some References Explained: Love in the Library: VetteMan & I met when he was hired to work . . . in the Reuther Central High School Library, where I have worked since August 1975. The building shown in the lower right hand corner of the Inside Right Page is the Reuther building; the Library/IMC is the row of windows on the second floor. (The Palm Trees were added by VetteMan. He probably included some Parrots, but they're too small to see.) VetteMan is a Library Media Specialist (LMS), as well as an Instructional Technology Specialist (ITS); he was an elementary school librarian for several years, before computers came along and grabbed his interest. Those who know us will realize the relevance of the book titles . . . Corvette Annual, Fishes & Dogs are obvious; Martha Grimes is a mystery novelist whom I love to read and recommend to others; The Civil War & Flaubert are both mentioned in the song (and we both have a strong interest in the War Between the States). THE MENU On Monday, Jeff gave me MENU information, which will be inserted into the Program: Not being one to waste the space if I can write something in it, I put this on the other side of the Menu Insert: I also made these Food Label Cards to set up in front of the plates on the Buffet Table. As of Tuesday, 20 April, the Photographer (Sean Murphy) & the Videographer (Mike Murphy) are all set; they'll both come to the Rehearsal on Wednesday, 19 May. A few more pre-nuptial meetings with the lawyers, and that will be another item to scratch off on our To Do List. Here are some apropos comics about the financial situation, even after having been together for over 22 years (and just wait 'til Irving finds out how much a wedding costs): This is me . . . PAGE 11
