My Family Memories: GRANDPARENT'S ANNIVERSARY!!!

[BrandonDaCollector]

Today is My Grandparents' Anniversary of when they married. If you need a recap, they were married over 40 years and did so much together, very little times did they do things by themselves unless it was with their daughter/My Mom or Me. They were such good Grandparents. Okay, so I've been planning this for months now. This will be a big and important one so please bear with & follow Me here. You know My Grandpa PoPo loved his Magazines, this is how I got to love Magazines too. Well, it 45 years ago this year that he got the January 1979 Issue of Cycle World...



here's the front cover....My Grandma MiMi wanted to make sure that this very one was taken good care of which you'll see why in moments. I put this in My keepsake drawer, and it's been there since his passing in 2003 so it's been over 20 years already but I would never let anything happen to this




Here's the table of contents...



Now, this isn't just any Vintage Motorcycle Magazine...no-siree-bob...this one has an Article WRITTEN BY MY GRANDFATHER He submitted it in and they posted it Long before message boards & the web was ever a thought, this how it was done



Here's a special close-up of it...he says so much and this will give you an idea how it was with the adventures of My Grandparents before I was born...here's the first part...PLEASE READ IT WITH CARE



Here's the second part...

As you just saw, it said Ronald Cassin, St. Louis, MO

Now that's not all because I got more for their Anniversary. Here's this special from one of Our Family Photo Albums...



My Grandparents did a lot of traveling on the bikes and won a ton. My Grandma MiMi was very nice looking here

Now, here's the fantastic feature of this...they were part of the Yamaha Society...they both made it together to the YAM-650 News as here's the front of this flyer



Here they are seperatly as she is on the top row and he's on the bottom section



Here's a close-up of her as you see it's the same picture in the Family Album. Look as it says Gloria Cassin with Lucky Shirt Winner of the St. Louis Donelson Run...keep in mind I introduced Donelson Cycles in their Halloween Special

Well, that will do it. This was quite a showcase here for My Grandparents' Anniversary and I finally posted this I hope in Heaven, Cyberspace or wherever they maybe, they are having a Happy Anniversary and that they see and know that I made this special for them to make sure that their memory of this wonderful history doesn't fall to Oblivion I have more to come later on in time
