The couple and their children hosted a “Lost in the Fifties’” party at the Hendricks County Conference Center on June 9. The party featured 1950s music and dancing to Motown and Doo-wop songs around the Ô50s decorations that included a photo op at a large record arch. Guests were decked out in Ô50s attire as they enjoyed ice cream sundaes and floats from the ice cream parlor, retro bottled drinks, food, and an old fashioned candy buffet. The evening also included a hula hoop contest, and beach balls flying in the air while dancing to the sounds of the Beach Boys. A tribute song to those married 50 years or longer was sung by Linda Dewees as the couples danced. The special evening concluded with their guests joining together in a circle of blessing as Dewees sang “The Prayer.”
