PAGE 7: Pix Taken at the Fandamily Manse Before The Gala Event

HA! There were THREE reasons for me arranging this PHOTO SESSION!

The FIRST REASON:
I wanted to “re-create” a 2005-version of as many pix from Ray & Carol’s 1955 wedding album as I could.
And, there were TWO pix in the 1955 album taken of folkz on the front steps of the Miller’s Norristown
Meadowbrook Road home that included folkz who ALSO were attending the 2005 Golden Gala.
(Ray with his Best Man, Al Desimone … Ray with his parents and youngest sister, Dottie.)
So, NO! TWO PICTURES weren’t much of a “reason” to make sure that EVERYONE in the “2005 Wedding Party”
dragged their buttz to the Miller Fandamily Manse after getting DRESSED for the gig – instead of simply heading
to the Event Center!
But, I did my best to make it SOUND like a 2005-photo-recreation session at the Miller Fandamily Manse
was VITAL … and that it was VITAL they ALL be therefor it!
Thankfully, by this time, I’d apparently brow-beaten everyone into AUTO-SUBMISSION!
Because, not a single person ARGUED with me about this requirement! And, they ALL showed up
ON TIME!!! (Apparently, I’m really good at brow-beating. LOL!

The SECOND REASON:
I needed a good “excuse” for the PROFESSIONAL Photographer (Steve Kauble)
being present and taking pix AT the MILLER FANDAMILY MANSE.

The THIRD – and MOST IMPORTANT – REASON:
I needed ALL the “2005 Wedding Party” folkz DRESSED and AT THE HOUSE
– and I needed the PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER AT THE HOUSE –
BEFORE the SURPRIZE LIMOUSINE PULLED UP IN FRONT!!!

What the hell … As long as I’m “narrating”: Every time he sees a 2005 pic of Al, Ray whines,
“Look at all the HAIR he still has!”

Clearly, Dottie was much happier about Ray’s 50th than she was about his wedding! LOL

2005 Steve Kauble Pic Al didn’t meet his wonderful wife, Lynn, until years after Ray & Carol’s wedding.

Circa 1965 PIC!

Clearly! Al was the “Bee’s Knees” when courting Lynn! Har.

There will be plenty of “circa ‘55” pix of Elaine coming up on other pages.
But, check out PUNKY’S circa ’55 pic!!! HUBBA, HUBBA!
And, although he wasn’t AT the 1955 wedding, Punky actually KNEW Carol back then!

OH!!! I think it was while this pic was being taken that RAY turned to CAROL and asked, “Would you marry me again?” Whereupon, I immediately thought, “DAMMIT!SOMEONE LET IT SLIP! Ray KNOWS about the VOW-RENEWAL CEREMONY!!!” As it happens, Ray was simply asking her – entirely by coincidence! Neither of them had ANY idea about the 2005 Wedding until they were brought before Mel, the 2005 Minister!

OH, Yeah! Even though she gritted her teeth,
Carol answered, “YES”!!!
(What the HELL would I have done if she’d said NO?!)
