Nancy's New Husband

I will not be at the reunion on October 4th. Last June 20th I got married in Loma Rica, CA. My new last name is Umland.

In 1963, when I was 16 I met a young man, Art Umland, who was working during the summer for the U.S. Forest Service in Oregon. He was a Sophomore at the Univ. of Connecticut. Over the next 6 years, we corresponded and saw each; I went to Connecticut to meet his family when he graduated. He accepted a position with the U.S. Forest Service in CA after graduation and I moved to Atlanta when I joined Delta Airlines. We went our separate ways about 1969, married and had families. Last year I was working with a young woman with her Russian genealogy. It seems her mother's maiden name was Umland, so I asked if she knew Art. He was her cousin. He was divorced for 12 years, retired..........she gave me his email, telephone number and address. I contacted him and the rest is history. I was coming to San Francisco for Christmas and he lived in Marysville. He came down for four days and it took him two days to propose. This is one of those stories that you read about and now you can say you know someone who experienced it.

Attached are three photos.............one of Art and I, the cake (which was a big surprise........Art arranged it since I was in Florida), and Art and I with my parents.

Have a wonderful time. We are putting my Florida house up for rent and we're driving to California the end of October. We bought a home in Marysville, CA. Next reunion I'll be there! For those of you who went to St. Cecilia ES, I'll be at the next reunion next year "When I'm 64"!
