The Ordell Fudges celebrate 60th anniversary

With two photos; click on headline for complete story and photos

By Billy Joe Fudge

On November 12th, 1948 the most significant event to allow me to be here took place. Zelma Merle Stotts and James Ordell Fudge stood along side each other and promised to Love, Honor, and Obey and were united in Marriage.

On Wednesday November 12th, 2008 my Mom and Dad began their 60th year of marriage. Libby and I celebrated this milestone of time and commitment with them on Thursday the 13th.



Dad takes dialysis three times a week now and is oftentimes weak after this procedure, so we postponed our time together until an off day for Dad. Of course it was an off day for Mom, also. She, as always, is by Dad's side during dialysis as they have stood by the other for the past 60 years. They have truly Loved, Honored, and Obeyed that commitment made back in 1948.

I know most of you who know my parents might remember Mom from the Circle R and Lyon Uniform in the 50's, Osh Kosh in the 60's, and Summit Manor in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.

You might remember Dad as a dairy and tobacco farmer, working in the log woods for Mr. Frank Lancaster (pronounced Lankster), procuring tobacco for tobacco markets, or most probably for being alongside "Smokey" for 14 years. Smokey, according to most of us who knew him and had the pleasure of walking beside him from 1956 till 1970, was the best bird dog who ever lived.

Now Mom, Dad, all of us in the family, and all of you their friends and neighbors are looking forward to November 12th, 2009 and may God continue to bless us all.
