On Saturday afternoon, my wife, Adelia, and I attended the 50th wedding anniversary for long-time school friends, Marlys and Lorne Tveit of International Falls, held at Zion Lutheran Church.
Lorne, Marlys and Adelia attended elementary and high school at Williams, Mn.
The children and grandchildren of the couple planned the occasion, which involved an open house attended by about 100. In the evening, supper was served for the family at Ranier Community Center.
The couple is now retired and mostly spent their winters down south.
We also had the opportunity to visit for a few hours with our daughter-in-law, Leanne Guba, and her three children. Wayne was away with son, David, at a Scout camp for the weekend.
