Thursday, November 20, 1924. The marriage of my father's parents.
Which was oddly a Thursday. I think of most weddings being on Saturday.
At least they are now.
The wedding was in Denver, where they had met and where my grandfather was working. They'd live there until 1937, when they'd move to Scottsbluff. In that time they had all of their children save for one, who would be born in Scottsbluff, the first one being born in 1926 and my father being born in 1929.
They were both 23 years old. He had been on his own since age 13. She was living with her parents in Denver, where they had moved after her father had closed his store in Leadville. Her parents were of 100% Irish extraction, with her mother being from Cork. His parents were of 100% Westphalian extraction. They were both Catholic, although I don't know what church they were married in. Likey one of the Catholic churches downtown.
The American Automobile Association of State Highway Officials approved a resolution recommending that states agree to a consistent system of numbered highways.
