A Sad Ending!
Margie and Gene Smith's wedding in 1942.Smitty and Margie were our life long friends until they died a few years ago. Ford was Smitty's best man when they got married. (Ford is on the right end in the picture) .
I never knew the girl who was Margie's maid of honor. I did meet and knew the little girl who was the flower girl in the wedding.
Sadly, everyone in this picture is now deceased.
Ford was Smitty's best man and they remained friends their whole lives until Ford died 9 years ago. then Smitty died about five years ago. Margie died a couple of years later.
I know of very few people who have friends that long. There were four of them who went to school together and were friends their whole lives: Smitty, Louie, Dutch and Ford. We saw them almost every summer and always talked at Christmas time. They all moved away from Indiana except Louie but we never lost touch with them over the years.
Now all of them are gone to that great beyond (I hope) where I am sure they are still friends.
