A Letter from the Lepisto's

Dear Linda and John,

We want to congratulate you on your 35th wedding anniversary! We have known you for about 28 of those years!

Both of you have been dear friends to us over the years. John, you have been a colleague, department chair, dean, and friend at CMU. Linda, you have been a great friend and "mother adviser" providing insights and help in mothering Douglas and Scott. As a couple, we remember many gatherings at your home, including a baby shower when Brenda was pregnant with Douglas over 25 years ago - sure doesn't seem that ago. John, you and I celebrated our 40th birthdays together with Jim Burley. What a fun party that was...including the belly dancer.

Our memories include Immanuel Lutheran Church and the "stitching group" along with Marketing Department retreats and parties.

We have many fond memories of our time spent together over the last almost three decades. We wish you happiness and good health if the future.

With sincere congratulations on your 35th wedding anniversary,

Larry and Brenda Lepisto
