The Golden Years!




A
ugust 30th 1959 Ann and Larry were married in a little country church between Thomasville and Winston Salem. That year the average income was around $5,000. The average house would set you back a whopping $12.000. You could pick your sweetheart up in a brand new car that cost $2,000 with a tank full of gas that cost 25 cents a gallon. Mack the knife by Bobby Darin was the number one song that year and Bonanza was the show most folks tuned into at night. Some people will argue that those were the good ole' days..... they may be right.

I was asked by the family to photograph their anniversary and I am sure glad I was. Ann, Larry, and their entire family are some of the nicest people I have ever met. It was interesting to look at their wedding photos (black and white) and listen to some of the stories told of yesteryear. When I asked Ann and Larry to give each other a "little" kiss for the camera, Ann said "we like BIG kisses.".......... all I could say was awwwww!!!!
