Sixteen years in the making, my sister finally! got married to the love of her life Mary on a bright, wonderful Spring afternoon in Kailua, Hawaii. Maxine and I were chuppah pole holders, along with Mary's brother Jay who flew in from Buffalo. Deb and my parents, Myra and Reive, also made the long trip in from the East coast to be there.
