Frank and Julie Richards Wedding April 24, 2010
Frank, my double first cousin, decided to get remarried in the Catholic Church after being married for 33 years. Frank
studied under a priest for about 4 months to learn what was necessary. We were al thrilled to see the recommitment of
their vows. Unfortunately my camera did not too as well as expected in the dark areas, but I still have some representative
shots of the festivities. I was a able to use Adobe Photoshop to make most of them visible. We are double first cousins as
our Mothers were sisters and our Fathers were brothers. Usually with a cousin, you have two grandparents the same and
2 different. We share all 4 grandparents. I was in high school, before I realized this was unusual.

Bill and Carolyn Conrod. Bill was the Fort Myers Fire Chief for many
years. Strangely enough we were competitors in our coconut stands in
the early 50's but didn't know it until today. I had a big advantage being
right next to the Thomas Edison Estate with a constant supply of
Yankees coming by daily.

Even more smooching.
They can't leave each other alone.

Jeanie and Chris Renfrow. They came to our Bed and Breakfast with Frank
and Julie the weekend that Princess Dianna died. While cleaning their
room, I found her black leather garter belt, but didn't mail it back because it
fit me.

Bill Conrod again. We had a great time talking about the old times in
Fort Myers. Not too many of us who actually lived through these times.
