"September 20th 1936"



Friday September 20th...
72 years ago today Liz and Mike were married in St Mary's Church in Long Island City...
Following the ceremony a lavish reception was held. attended by the elite of Long Island City..
Later that night, counting the gifts a total of $299.00 was received which was immediately impounded by my grandmother to cover the cost of the furniture purchased for their apartment located at ...well where else...521
My Aunt Kate was not in the wedding party
as she was still recuperating from the birth of Joey, born in August.
