Newlyweds, Again!
 Celebrating 58 years of marriage this year, Gail and Richard said "I do" again on Valentine's Day. Victory Centre of Bartlett hosted its 7th annual Vow Renewal Ceremony with five couples re-pledging their love.  Bartlett's Executive Director, also an ordained Chaplain, presided over the ceremony and everyone celebrated with a slice of wedding cake. Thanks to a March 1956 snowstorm, Gail and Richard had a white wedding then...and today!
