Handwritten invitation to the wedding. The handwriting is of my mother, Norma.

Formal Wedding announcement.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel, November 10, 1957.

Some things never change, as in the misspelling of the FORRAI's last name!

This was my father's first marriage. He was introduced to my mother, by my Grand Uncle, Albert 'Abby' Reichardt. This was my mother's second marriage. She divorced her first husband, because of the physical violence against her. My mother was ahead of her time, a divorced woman in the 1950's was considered a shameful state.
