CHILDHOOD

HERE COME THE BRIDES....

Susan Anne Mardos & Charles S. Cole, Jr. 11 April 1964	Pamela Elizabeth Mardos & Donald Ray Rietsch 20 October 1973

AND THE KIDS HAD KIDS.....

Christopher Scott 1 September 1967 Stacey Ellen 1 July 1970	Mischa Marie July 1987 - June 2002 :((( Gunnar June 1988 - January 2002 :(((
The good news is that we now are the proud parents of twins 3 years old, Sophia Gretja and Fritz Heinrich and if you click on their names you can see their pictures, 3 different sets, 3mos, 6 mos, and when they were one. I hope to get up more photos, and to resize the ones that are there, but I just have not had time.

AND FINALLY SOME OF THE KIDS MARRIED....
