60th anniversary party

my sister put together a cd of dance music. it was a lot of fun! i forgot how i like to do the "electric slide!" she started the cd off with "someone to watch over me" over which my mom teared up when she heard it. "al," she said, "this is our song." i never knew they had a song! it was wonderful to see them dance together again . . it's how they met . . at a dance club somewhere. then my dad asked her to a bluejacket formal. he arrived for their first date in full regalia "oooohhhh," my aunt said after she had answered the door and had run back to my mom getting ready in the bedroom, "doris, you have to see how he's dressed!" of course i know my mom looked rather sensational also. i have a picture somewhere of the long gown she wore. they really knew how to have fun in those days! . . i also remember the two of them dancing on warm summer nights at jones beach on the outdoor dance floor there, with a full swing band. i was very little then! i remember my dad trying to teach me how to do the lindy, and the two of them demonstrating it for me . . they were fun times for all of us.
