October 22, 1983, was a fine fall day. The ceremony was supposed to start at 9:00AM, out videographer was running late (Dr. Quinones had become a family friend). The outcome of this event was the building of a wonderful family. Everyday I am thankful for my the adventures we had and the 4 children that we brought into the world. We celebrated Alan’s first birthday on what would have been our 39th anniversary. We missed Emily, but had a great time with family and friends.
