On the weekend of November 3rd, my parents-in-law had a lovely 60th anniversary celebration at the Fortnightly Club of Chicago. Thanks to my thoughtful mother-in-law, at the end of the evening my mother, my daughter-in-law Jenny and I had the unexpected opportunity to see one of the Fortnightly's treasures, a rare copy of the edition of Chaucer's works published by the famed Kelmscott Press. (As I did not get a photo of the Fortnightly's copy, check out this link to an image of Cornell University's copy). The party was wonderful, and nearly 60 of Ray and Mary Helen's closest family and friends joined in the celebration. Jim and I were so happy to be there to them and to wish them our love and congratulations!
While there, of course we had to do some sight-seeing. Here is a shot of me taking a picture of my mother and me as reflected in "the bean" at Millennium Park. It was cold and blustery, like Chicago should be in early November, and we were clearly bundled up for the occasion.
