The summer of 2022 brought a very special set of events. Dawn and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. Among the guests were all our family: Caitlin from Yellowknife, Adrian and April from Edmonton, and Bryan, Julia, Sebastian and Thomas from Regina. Been years since the whole family has been together! And with many good friends around us, and many more sending good vibes from afar whether electronically or psychically, we had a really wonderful celebration! (Look for a Facebook group called Steve and Dawn's 50th anniversary bash" for some photos and messages!)
