Alma and Bill Stalters, friends of the family, were celebrating their 58th Anniversary with a big house party on Sunday. All three of their children, Carla, David, and Eddie, were able to be together at once (a very rare luxury as they live in separate states), as well as most of their spouses and children. Alma and Dorothy (my grandmother) met in the mid-1950’s at a card club they had both joined. Alma had already had a daughter, and my grandmother was pregnant with my mom when they met, so they had a lot in common. They lived in the same town until my grandparents moved to Annapolis in the early 1980s, but remained close friends. In fact, I remember going on joint summer vacations with Alma and Bill, mostly to Stanton, VA where we did a July 4th Statler Brothers’ concert and parade thing. Both Alma & Bill and my grandparents’ owned a vacation trailer at Rehoboth Beach, DE in the 70/80s, right next door! We feel very fortunate to have been invited to celebrate their achievement of 58 years of marriage
