Rosalee and I wish to thank Happy Time Squares, our square dancing community, other friends, and relatives for making our 50th Anniversary Party a hugh success.

A big thank you to Caller Vic who did a superb job of emceeing/calling.   And thank you to Wade for his calling,   Judy & Gene for Lines,   Vernon & Toni for Rounds.

We were pleasantly surprised with decorations and setup of the hall, and are still not sure of everyone who had a hand in the effort, but were told it was the "usual suspects."   It was obvious that Toni Nelson had a large part in decorating,   Barbara Neff with the photo display board.   Daughter Tonya Ketchum organized the event with help from our other children (Sonya, David, and Kevin), and she did the cake.

To all the other, so far unrecognized HTS folk, our sincere thanks for your work.

Several dancers and friends who planned to attend had to cancel due to the weather.   We understand, and thank you for thinking of us.

We hope that everyone enjoyed the celebration as much as we did!

You may have noticed a camera or two at the celebration - thanks Jerry, Vernon/Toni, and Ruth.   We have several of their photos to share   here.
