Dad and Mom on their way to Phoenix, Arizona, on September 30, 1950, where they will be married within a matter of hours. I remember Mom did tell me at one time why they had to go to Arizona to be married by a Justice of the Peace, but I've since forgotten. Anyway, they look mighty happy, despite having to drive so far out of their way!
Interestingly, they went to Havana, Cuba, for their honeymoon. Not too many American newlyweds nowadays can say they did that!
