This past weekend my wife and I drove up to Manhattan Kansas. Thirty six years ago we were married in Westmoreland Kansas. We decided to elope back then, alerting only two friends to stand as witnesses. Up to Westy we drove in my 68 Pontiac Catalina. Judge "Doc" Maskill was the judge who married us looking every bit the role as the older statesman judge from Kansas. His secretary told him as we headed out the door; "Doc at least comb what hair you have left'. He read from Shakespeare as we stood in the July heat in the now gone Gazeebo behind the 100 year old rock courthouse. Just a couple of broke kids, with no money, we stopped at Pizza Hut and headed back to town. We called friends to help us celebrate in Brothers Tavern in Manhattan. I wouldn't change a thing.
