MATT AND SHANNON GET MARRIED


This past weekend we went to Chattanooga for the wedding of the son of two of my oldest and dearest friends. I have known Matt's dad, Bill Markham since we both attended Randolph Street Church of Christ in Huntsville some 60 odd years ago. Matt's mom, Donna Markham Ramsey and I have been friends for over 35 years. Man! Are we getting old or what?
Shannon was a beautiful bride. Hey Chip and Stew! Do you remember Cindy Sexton? She's still pretty!

Donna was a glamorous "Mother of the Groom"

Dick relaxing in Bill and Gail's motor home. They were nice enough to park it on a lakeside lot and let us spend the weekend there. It was so nice.

We had a wonderful time! Friday night we feasted on Filet Mignon at the Rehearsal Dinner and the Wedding Reception food was fantastic. Why do I judge trips by the food eaten? On Sunday, while Dick and Bill played golf, I visited my cousin, Tom Durham who lives in Chattanooga. What a great visit we had!!! I miss him.

Tommy's vintage golf cart. An original Harley-Davidson. I didn't know Harley Davidson made golf carts! Wonder where he gets that white hair?
