Geigers to celebrate 50th wedding anniversary

Sandy and Pete Geiger on their wedding day and today (inserts)


BJ Alums got this email from former BJ staffer Pete Geiger, who lives in Penney Farms, Florida, a Christian retirement community 38 miles west of St. Augustine, after spending 13 years in Mongolia:


Good Morning,

Some of you were there; you know who you are.

Sandy graduated from Eastern Baptist College (now Eastern University) and we all trooped westward to New Castle, Pa. to celebrate her birthday. And then there was the wedding in First Baptist Church, where she married Pete. (He, a part-time student, took another two years to finish college.)

Hard to believe that was a half-century ago, eh?

Well, it was; and now we're going to mark the occasion by renewing our vows. We'd thought you'd like to know. There must absolutely be no remembrances other than your good wishes, OK?

Our renewal ceremony will be at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 3, 2011 in First Presbyterian Church of Green Cove Springs, Florida. That's 50 years and five hours from the time we tied the knot. The Rev. Dr. W. Hunter Camp II will officiate. If you're close enough to be there, we definitely want to see you in the congregation. A very small reception with cake and punch will follow in the church's "Friendship Hall."

God has been extremely good to us. Our ceremony will be one of gratitude and much of our thankfulness has been for all of you who have been with us through some or all of the years of our marriage. May He bless you abundantly, as well.

With love,

Sandy and Pete Geiger
P.O. Box 2000
Penney Farms, FL 32079
