The last weekend in August found the Windham family gathered together in the home of Don and Susan Windham to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary.

Although it would have been nice to have a party to celebrate with friends and family, it was a great gathering. They enjoyed a very special meal along with a luscious cake that had been decorated for the occasion. Everyone had fun visiting and spending family time. 

Attending were Andrew and Wendy Davis Windham and children, Ella, Abby, and Jack Windham of Philadelphia; Alan and Natalie Klaire Windham and children, Trey and Sophie Windham of Brandon.  Don and Susan thoroughly enjoyed their celebration with them! Congratulations to this wonderful couple.
