HUNGRY GERALD

Sunday (July 2) was the 60 year marriage anniversary of HG/BSK. On a steamy New York summer day in 1963, Judge George Postel officiated at the marriage of HG/BSK. (The luckiest day of HG’s life). HG/BSK marked the long ago event with a leisurely lunch  at Clamdiggers Restaurant in Cardigan, Prince Edward Island (A short drive from HG/BSK’s oceanfront home). Good food and drink and lovely views of Cardigan harbor (Once a shipbuilding site). HG/BSK shared a starter of crab cakes with PEI mustard pickles. Main dish for BSK was a lobster roll and French fries. For HG: Pan seared scallops and mashed potatoes. The drink was locally brewed Gahan Island Red Ale (This was perfectly poured and is the best ale/beer in the world). Dessert was bread pudding  in caramel sauce and copious amounts of whipped cream (An HG request). HG/BSK clinked glasses and toasted a long, happy marriage that has produced extraordinary children and grandchildren. HG expressed a wish to have more years with wondrous BSK, the love of HG’s life. HG is now 93 and owes the longevity to BSK’s unceasing loving care.
