The photos below were taken in 2004 and earlier and were submitted by Joe Vettese, a retired Wisconsin Division Engineer, now a resident of Flippen, Arkansas.  Joe & Norma celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on November 24, 2010 followed by a party 2 days later.  Joe sent us some pictures from that event and they are located here.  -    11/30/10

Here’s Bill & Joe again pictured in Bill’s back yard at Mountain Home, Akansas.  Wally Smith sent this one in and this seems like a good place for it.
