Joe Brooks and Doug Walker of San Diego were legally married on
August 31st,
the 28th Anniversary of their life partnership. They invited 80
guests for a "sit down" in their back yard and ended the celebration
with
a wedding cake from the famous dessertier, Michele Coulon.
The Real Deal Cake!
Ralph says: "Honey, Can we go home now?" Nancy with her new glasses
says, "Sure!"
Thanks to Ralph and Nancy's daughter Nancy Mickelson for the photos.
They celebrated their anniversary on August 4th with most of their 7 kids,
23 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.

The interesting round objects
on the wall were possibly used for gold mining. Others seem to think
they were shields from
the swallows that return en masse every March 19th!
Joe Brooks & Doug Walker wish all
Happy Holidays and a Great 2008!
Steve and Ron outside the Musee d'Orsay
with an amused stranger, bottom right.
It was their first meeting after 20 years!
Diane, Susan, Steve and Sharon met in London recently. Steve came from
Versailles
with a bottle of champagne and then they lunched and chatted
(and drank a little more) throughout the day.

On April 3, 2004, Jackie Novak Peacock became Jackie Novak Skinner,

Their lovely dinner-reception was held at the Burgundy Bistro.
All best to the newlyweds!
