Classmate Anniversaries
Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes

Dear as I held you close in my arms
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms
Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low
Darling, I love you so

The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime
We'd find that our love is unaltered by time
Tom and Polly Celebrate 46 Years of
Marriage
and 13 Special Years of Life!
We are celebrating two Anniversaries again this year. One is our 46rd Wedding Anniversary
and the other is 13 years after my Liver Transplant. The first one would not happen without
the other.

We were married on May 24, 1963 at East Ave. Baptist Church.  My bride was Polly
Mitchell of Ava, Mo.  The Maid of Honor was Dixie Lane and my Best Man was Charles
Stapp.       (also SHS class of 1953 our class).

















We did not celebrate on May 24, 2006, as we picked up our Daughter Sheri & Rich
Kennehan at the Airport returning from a trip to see his family in New York State. We all
came home for a Cookout that night.  Polly and I  went out the next night to Logan Steak
House to celebrate our 43rd anniversary a day late.




























We have two daughters, Jean and Sheri. Jean Ann Cobban & husband Matt Cobban of Fair
Grove Missouri.  Pictured on the right, they have two daughters, Jessica age nine, and
Matelyn, six years old.

Sheri & husband Richard Kennehan, pictured left are living in Springfield.

















My life saving transplant took place on July 31, 1996 at 6:00pm. Thanks to a caring donor in
the Cape Girardeau area for sharing the gift of life.
