"One hundred guests called between the hours of three and five."

The title of this post comes from the last line of the newspaper article on Daddy Rich and Mama Sheba's 50th Anniversary party. This past December, Aunt Nan gave me a box of photos and things, and in it was the guest book used at the 50th Anniversary party.



Let's flip through the pages and see who we might know, shall we? Here's page 1.


I know Ms. Morgan was a good friend of Aunt Maggie's. There's three Sims, who must be Mama Sheba's siblings.

Another Sims. Bonnie Moorer, possibly Aunt Margaret's relative? Paul & Sheila Langford and "Mrs. Percy Langford", the former Ruth Whitehead..

Uncle Shug.

Carl Sims and Fred Sims.

Uncle Bud and Aunt Margaret. Uncle Aura and Aunt Bernice.


And inside the front cover of the book was this little gem.
