The open house is at Crimson Lane, 4600 County Road 1, Ada. The couple was married on Sept. 29, 1968, at First Mennonite Church, Bluffton. They request no gifts.
Class members from the AHS graduating class of 1963 donated $1,425 to the Boots for Bulldogs campaign to help secure the doors and place placards at each door of the Ada schools.
The presentation was made on Aug. 31, to Kristin Purdy, one of the three persons spearheading the fundraiser. She said she would like to challenge other classes to do the same.
In 2013 the class collected over $8,400 to pay for and have the brick patio installed on the south side of the school, east of the cafeteria entrance.
