MOTHER AND DAD'S 60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSITY

I remember back when Mother and Dad had their 50th wedding anniversary. I wanted to put a story in the newspaper about it. If I remember correctly it went like this here.

Herman and Gertrude Stalker will have their 50th wedding anniversary this November 27, 1998.

The most unusual thing about them is that the whole entire 50 years they were married they always sent children to school.

They got married November 27, 1948, Mother's brother, Willie Ray, was in the first grade. They have seen to it that he went to school everyday and well prepared.

On December 1, 1949, their first child, Clyde, was born. He started school in 1955. During this time period, Willie Ray, was in the eighth grade.

On March 5, 1952 their second child was born, Lucille, she start school in 1958. During this time period, Willie Ray was a Junior in High School and Clyde was in the fourth grade.

On September 26, 1954 their third child, Sherry, was born. She started school in 1960. During this time period Willie Ray had graduated from high school and started college. Clyde was in the sixth grade and Lucille was in the third grade.

On December 25, 1956, their fourth child, Jeffery, was born she started school in 1962. During this time. Willie took some time off college to teach school in Buffalo.

On September 17, 1966, their fifth child, Michelle, was born, she started kindergarten in 1971. During this period of time. Willie Ray had graduated from college and got married. They have two children. Clyde and Lucille has already graduated. Clyde got a job working at the dam and Lucille was Sophomore in college. Sherry was a Junior in high school and Jeffery was a Freshman. Later Jeffery got married and Sherry graduated from high school. Lucille graduated from college. After that Clyde, Lucille and Sherry got married.

On November 26, 1976, Sherry moved beside of them and had a baby, Carlos, they helped send him to school. He started kindergarten in 1982. During this time period Michelle was a Junior in high school.

On June 19, 1980, Sherry had her second child, Shawn, he started kindergarten in 1986. During this period of time Carlos was in the third grade. Michelle graduated from high school.

Carlos graduated in 1996 and Shawn graduated in 1998.

Mother and Dad had send children to school for 50 years.

 

It doesn't end there. Shawn attended collage, they furnished him a truck, Sherry furnished him with all of his supplies he needed, and Lucille and Michelle took turns about doing his laundry on the weekends he didn't come home.

Now Shawn got married just one month before they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.

HAPPY 60TH ANNIVERSITY MOM AND DAY!

We all love you!

Sherry
