Mary and Clint were married in 1939, the year of the so-called "two" Thanksgivings, when November had five Thursdays and FDR wanted to stimulate Holiday shopping. Their wedding day was on the traditional fourth Thursday of November, the 23rd.
Here's Mary on Thanksgiving 2009 as she leaves her house for the family celebration of the momentous 70th anniversary. The destination was nearby Harry's Savoy Grill. Joining the anniversary celebration were Clint and Natalie Searl, Ed and Ellie Searl, Kelly, K.P., and Mary Grace Lansing, and Ken and Mary Lansing. A good time was had by all.
