Ostara asks: Will there be any time for seeing you surrounding the event? I know you'll be swamped with visitors, arrangements, etc.

We're looking forward to spending as much time as we can with our families and friends. Here's the schedule as it now stands:

Friday afternoon and evening
From roughly 4:00 to 7:00 and 8:00 to10:00 our apartment will be command central for meeting, greeting, hanging out, getting acquainted with people you don't know, etc. We won't be serving dinner. We plan to slip out for dinner between 7-8. Please excuse us if we don't invite you to come along. We'll have been married less than twelve hours at that point and we'd like a moment alone to go "Oh, wow!" Maybe even "Yee-haw!"

Saturday morning
Sandy is going to lead a caravan on his infamous, er, famous "armpit tour" of Chicago's South Side. He invites anyone who's interested to meet him at the Original Pancake House (1517 E. Hyde Park Blvd) for breakfast at 8:00. (Let Sandy know if you think you'll come to the Pancake House. He doesn't want to leave anyone behind. Please note that only complete parties are seated together.) He'll circle back to the apartment to gather up stragglers at 9:00.

Anyone who is not interested in or able to join the tour is welcome to join Pamela at the apartment for coffee, tea, conversation, etc.

At noon, Wilsons, Hollisters, and Holyokes are invited to meet for lunch at Maravilla's Mexican Restaurant (5506 S. Lake Park Ave) to celebrate Russ's 97th birthday. (It would be a kindness if you would let Fred know whether you are attending. RSVP to fredhollister@gmail.com)

Saturday afternoon
You're on your own. We have last minute stuff to do.

Sunday morning
If you're still around, we'd be pleased to see you for a late bagel breakfast at our apartment at 10:00.
