From Neila and Bruce Barnes:
Joyce and Lou, Welcome to the 50th Wedding Anniversary Club. What a wonderful trip it has been for all of us and how fortunate that we met our perfect partner many years ago.

I first remember the Christy family when they returned to Middletown and entered Anne and Lynne in my Sunday school class at First Presbyterian Church. The love and care you offered with these two girls was outstanding.

Next came Lou and his love of cross word puzzles. Sometimes he was a little tardy for church, but usually when he arrived the puzzle was complete.

Then came our friendship through the Ohio State- Butler County group, even though you Joyce are not an alum of the greatest university - you have joined
the ranks.

We treasure our times together at picnics, scholarship dinners and away football trips as well as other organizations that we share.

HAPPY 50th to both of you!!!!!

Love, Neila and Bruce
