Mom & Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary


50 Years ago is a long time!!
The above news article ran in the Ogden Standard Examiner in Ogden, Utah.
Now, 50 years later, the following article is running in the Kauai Garden Island Newspaper:
Richard and Dolores Bramwell are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Bramwell were married on February l6, 1949 in Salt Lake City, Utah. They are residents of Lawai, and Mr. Bramwell is a Business Consultant specializing in Accounting. Richard and Dolores are the parents of three sons: Chuck, who resides in Irvine, California, Rick, who resides in Lawai, and Marty, who resides in Poway, California. They are also the proud grandparents of six grandsons and three granddaughters. A special anniversary celebration was held last summer in California, with a family reunion attended by all of their children and grandchildren. Congratulations to the Bramwells as they celebrate fifty years together!

A classic family photo from 1960, taken in our Living Room in Roy, Utah.
Mom looks so happy with her One year old, Marty, on her knee.
Chuck is in the center and is about Nine years old.
Dad looks so handsome in his Long Sleeve White Shirt, Bow Tie, and Cuff Links!!
Rick is on the far right and is about Four years old here.

Lots of great memories in Roy, Utah for sure!!

About 10 years later, we were in San Diego
and this photo was taken of Dad.

This classic shot is of Dad and his accounting crew at San Diego
Blue Print Company where Dad was the Controller.
That HUGE machine there is a NCR 3100 Accounting machine.
The entire floor of the building would shake as it rocked from back and forth.
Dad inherited that beast and taught Chuck how to run it after
school and on the weekends!!

Notice Dad's Sideburns, Moustache, and Cool Jacket!!


Mom and Dad moved to the Garden Island of Kauai in 1989.
In October of 1995, Chuck and Marty's family went to Kauai for a Family Reunion.

An Anniversary can be a new beginning
Another chance to learn more about ourselves
To care more about each other
To laugh more than we did
To accomplish more than we thought we could
To be more than we were before.

And now it's time to go to bed!!

We Love You Mom & Dad!!

Happy 50th!!
