Louise and Walter Sommers celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary Thursday, March 30, with a quiet dinner at their Westminster Village apartment in Terre Haute.
“It was a cold, snowy day,” Walter says of the couple’s wedding day on March 30, 1947. “Louise’s father invited just about everybody he knew. And after the wedding, we were busy shaking hands for way over an hour. This much I remember.”
A new Haggadah and expanded activities mark United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute Passover festivities, set for Monday, April 10, at Temple Israel.
