Clifford
Robert and Josephine Jarboe Gander on their wedding day, Friday, October
13, 1937. Josephine's wedding dress was of pink cut velvet, which
she made herself. In the beginning they were as poor as the
proverbial "church mouse". Josephine, so tiny, the
youngest of her doting sisters. We wondered if she would be able to
make it as a farm wife. In the beginning it was hard for her, but
her determination never wavered. Cliff and Jo, who celebrated their
62nd wedding anniversary this year (1999) are the only couple I have known
who have been on 62 honeymoons. I salute you Jo and Cliff.
