Social Notes

Mrs. Jim Crandall (Sylvia, to most of us) was in Foodking, yesterday, happily describing the latest of the Langone-Crandall family weddings as "just beautiful" and the reception as "elegant!" On June 3rd, "Roc" and Crystal's son, Ryan, was married at Hart's Hill Inn in Utica and, this past weekend, their daughter, Mary, was married in New Jersey! Lou and Shirlee Langone and many members of their family were there, as well.

Mr. John Peterson wrote that he and Elaine had returned from a trip to North Carolina to attend the wedding of their son, John, whose bride, Rina, is a native of Indonesia. The ceremony had taken place in an old Baptist church and guests had come from as far away as Brisbane, Australia, and Bali as well as from Sydney and Chatauqua, New York. The Peterson's son Dan, who lives 35 miles no on the edge of Jacksonville, N.C. left last week for four months’ work in Bahrain with the civilian defense contractor by whom he is employed. The senior Petersons enjoyed the entire trip despite the fact that John fell (we don’t know how!) and broke his wrist just before the wedding! His pride, he says, hurt as badly as did the break!

We take this opportunity to convey Belated Best Wishes to Mrs. Richmond! Her birthday always falls at about the same time as the Annual Women’s Club Tea, which took place on the 3rd. That event was, of course, a perfectly delightful occasion which was attended by many and missed only by those foolish enough to be away on a vacation or unfortunately incapacitated by illness.

Mrs. Bancroft of Sanger Avenue also celebrated her birthday, recently, (#50, we’re told) in a manner which SHE, certainly, was not expecting. Her daughter, Stephanie, is credited with some delightfully devious and very complex planning and the sixty or so friends and relatives - who were all in cahoots with her - must be applauded for their unexpected ability to really keep a secret so that the Birthday Party in the parish hall of Grace Episcopal Church really was an absolute, total and completely successful "Surprise!"

A NEWS NOTE: Of Interest to many.
The Marshall Township Board of Appeals meeting to discuss a variance for MKG to run motosports racing will take place tonight. The basic item is "noise" - and we suspect that it will begin when the meeting starts at 7:00.
