I want to share a story!

Dear Friends at Pat O'Brien's,
I still have the picture of my husband and I and our best man and his girlfriend....When we left our wedding reception, they made some cure remark like, "We'll see you at Pat O'Brien's at 9 o'clock!" Well, would you believe, we went to dinner at Antoine's then took a cab to Pat O'Brien's. We were standing in line waiting to get in (yes, it was just as difficult 40 years ago), when someone tapped my husband on the shoulder. It was our best man, Paul. They spent the evening with us singing some of the same tunes they are singing tonight.

We will be back there on the weekend of September 7-8 to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We plan to be in line at about 9 o'clock. Paul won't be tapping us on the shoulder because he died three years ago. But you can be sure that his voice will be heard and we'll certianly feel his presence when we are belting out those great and timeless tunes.

We look forward to having our picture taken out on the patio by the fountain with two extra hurricane glasses nearby in his memory.

Julaine and Isby
