50 years ago
What a fabulous anniversary party the Duarte boys and wives put on for their parents! For those not in attendance, it was like walking the red carpet to a hollywood awards party. The elaborate hollywood decor set the mood for an exciting evening. No wonder the attire was listed on the invite as semi-formal. John (sans tie) said that he was not going to listen to his brothers any more (Leo and Bill) when they told him they were not wearing ties. But their wives had a different idea in mind. After being there for a short time, John beelined it out to the car where he purposely brought a tie in case of emergency.
David Scheuber put together an excellent presentation with snapshots and video of Jim and Anita's life together over the past 50 years. His clever way of interviewing them brought many laughs and tears with Anita remembering all the details and Jim having a vague idea of what transpired. The expressions on his face were amusing. Great work nephew Dave, as usual.
All had a great time dining, dancing and socializing. Another dazzling Duarte party!
