Today is our 52nd Wedding Anniversary!
We were married in our Lady of Victory RC church in Gary, WV with an Episcopal priest sharing the altar with the RC, much to that priest's chagrin.
After the wedding we set off in my parents' car (since I had damaged mine on the way to a blood test) towing a You Haul to Cambridge, MA.
While I finished my Master of Theological Study degree at Harvard, Bern went to Northeastern University for her Junior Year.
We were children.
I was 23 and Bern was 20.
After that year we moved back to Morgantown, WV for Bern to complete her degree in theater. The next year she was in NYC acting in off-Broadway shows, like the Killing of Sister George.
I was a TV camera man and then a social worker in Child Protection.
It was there that the Archangel Miriah told me to go back to seminary and be ordained.
So we spent two years in Alexandria, VA. Me studying and Bern doing dinner theater.
Then to Charleston for my first church for 5 years. Both our children were born there.
Then to New Haven for another 5 years and then to Waterbury for 21 years (though we lived in Cheshire).
Add another 15 years to that with two marriages and four grandchildren to celebrate.
52 years is a long time.
But it has been full of (mostly) joy and wonder.
52 years ago today, all that began.
Happy Anniversary to us!!!
