Thanksgiving 2005

To all who celebrate, I wish you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. It’s a special one for my family as 50 years ago today on Thanksgiving, my parents got wedding at a Fort Worth hotel. 1955 was a fabulous year as the Brooklyn Dodgers also won the World Series that year.

I’m blessed to have them as an example of what makes a marriage happy and successful. I’m also thankful they’re my parents as they’re largely responsibile for my getting where I am today.

The family is gathering in my parents’ home in Fort Worth as we have an open house for most of the day. Family members have come from New York, Boston, Washington, DC, Israel, and Austin to join us.

We had a blast last night at the anniversary party where we “Danced through the decades.” Mom wore a poodle skirt while Dad wore his pants rolled up, loafers, a white shirt and a Donald Duck sweater jacket (varsity jacket) — Dad is a Donald Duck fan. I’m sitting in my parents’ office writing this and am surrounded by Donald Duck collectibles that came from many of us family members.

Happy Thanksgiving, USA!
