Transcription: I invited friends to join Kelly and I for the weekend.

Jody Shields and Gretchen Dykstra came from New York City.

Debby Knotts flew in from Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Sandra Johnson, Shelley Thornton, & Jane Johnson live in Lincoln.

Candy Dickenson Becher drove in from Columbus.

Shelleys children and their significant others at that time were with us: Phoebe Little and Nate Luginbill and Kirby Little and Jihan Najar.

Due to the highly unlikely chance that wed ever gather again in this group, I hired photographer David Dale to document us.
