10/11/16, the 285th day of 2016. That means that there are 81 days remaining in 2016....10/11 is also the day (in 1935) that my maternal grandparents were wed. Aaron Bechtel and Anne Splaver were married at the Courthouse and the rest, as they say, is history. In 1944 (9 years later), Bonnie Lee was born. She chose to transfer to Penn (from Ursinus), met David Sherr (in Houston Hall), and BOOM, the Sherr Family was started! Thank goodness for all the decisions made that led to my wonderful life that I now have! And, 9 years squared is 81. And today would have been Aaron and Anne's 81st anniversary (they were married 65 years when my grandmom passed away - 65!!!). 81 days left in 2016 on the 81st anniversary...I am in a numerical nirvana. And SO, not knowing what their actual wedding song was (if they indeed had one), I will use this song, from Nat King Cole, that my mom says Grandpop sang to Grandmom all the time. It's not Unforgettable, but the love and devotion they showed to each other, the role models they set for dedication to family and work ethic, certainly are unforgettable to me!
