50th wedding anniversary of Page and Van (Sherwood) Vandewater
Description:
'We are the first in all our families to be celebrating a 50th anniversary. We renewed our vows at the 4pm Mass at Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted, with Fr. DiPerri, pastor, chief celebrant. Concelebrants Fr. James Cunningham, CSS (Stigmatines in Waltham) and Fr. Fergus Healey, OFM, Arch Street Shrine. We credit RETROUVAILLE, a program of the Catholic Church for troubled marriages for bringing us back together 9 years after. Over 150 people joined us after Mass to celebrate in the school cafeteria. Pictured, from back to front, left to right: my wife Page Vandewater, my husband Van Vandewater, Ruth George-Vandewater (adopted daughter, center, black hair, green jacket), William Joseph Vandewater (holding camera, adopted son), and Kathy McMinemin, city councilor (blond hair, sitting in bront of Bill).
