In 1945, June remembers a handsome young sailor coming home from the war and falling in love with her cousin Joyce. They were married in 1950. June and Joyce were best friends, so she had the honor of being Joyce's bridesmaid. The following year, Spike, Joyce and June moved to teach in Altona, where they met Al. Al and June enjoyed visiting with them in their apartment.They have fond memories of our annual lunches in Portage Place where Al and Spike talked about issues in education ( Spike was an important figure in vocational education programs in Manitoba). Al and June appreciated your company at their golden wedding anniversary. Our thoughts are with you. In deepest sympathy, June and Al. - Posted by: Al and June Wieler (Cousins) on: Mar 02, 2016
