We finally got the photo that was in the newspaper, and the rest of
the photos that were taken with exception of the ones that were not
clear. Mike Tobias took about a dozen photos total. As you can see,
the online photo does not show the letter jacket in full view.
The vignette to the right in the bottom photo is pictures from the
Senior Games Triathlon at Pace Bend Park at Lake Travis outside of
Austin, Texas (approximately 30 miles west) in September of 2005.
It rained the entire event.
We were married on a cruise ship on June 3, 2006 in New Hampshire
with my friends Ann and Howard Sullivan standing in for us. Ann and
I are poetry friends dating back to the year 2000 having met online.
Update on our wedding: Since we are both Catholics, we had our marriage
blessed by Father Patillo at St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church in Port
Neches, Texas on December 9, 2006 with my sister Molly and Alfred's
sister Bert standing in for us this time. Everybody who has a civil
wedding should follow through six months to a year later with a church
ceremony. It will bring you closer together and closer to the LORD.
My sister, Molly, said when they do the remake of "Chariots of Fire"
she expects Alfred to be the star. Too cool, what a sweet thought!
Alfred was at the Port Arthur YMCA the morning the article came out
in the paper. We have a swimming pool at home however he does lap
swimming at the Y. Several ladies were looking at him and asked if he
was the man in the article on the front page. Alfred went to get copies
of the paper at a news rack but was invited to go to the news office
where he acquired several copies for friends and family.
Alfred exclaimed that chills ran up and down his body and his head
when he saw his photo and the article on the FRONT PAGE AND IN THE
CENTER OF THE PAGE. WOW!
We have a gym in our home. Alfred is not only my husband but he is
also my personal trainer! I hope to be back in shape by summer of 2007.
But I won't compete in triathlons! I will keep studying the hula!
Alfred graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1956. Carolyn
(that's me) graduated from the same school in 1958.
Alfred is certainly MY SUPER HERO!
Below is our picture taken at the ship's wheel with Capt. O'Connell
on the Mount Washington Cruise Ship, Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire.
I wore a muumuu and Alfred wore a matching aloha shirt. The flowers
in our matching outfits were white Ginger and Pikaki. Alfred wore a
white Kukui Nut lei and after performing the hula to "The Hawaiian
Wedding Song," I presented him with the Maile Lei with white Pikaki
flowers. My lei and head lei were both white Ginger flowers. Before
the ceremony, I presented Capt. O'Connell with a shell lei I brought
back from Hawaii. Our aloha outfits came from the Lava Hut in Hawaii.
The leis were purchased from the The Hula Source, also in Hawaii.
Star Crossed Lovers
We are sunsets at the
beach, the sand 'neath
our feet, romancing
under a full moon and
sailing in the moonlight,
the aroma of each other,
and Love overflowing.
Our cups runneth over.
