Earilier in the day, there was a wedding at City Hall. One couple, Cathryn James and Patricia Knuth, together for 31 years, 10 months and 2 days, finally were able to legally marry and finalize the rela- tionship they had together for so many years. It was a happy occasion and is a memory that will not be forgot- ten for a long time to come, if ever.
There was music by Lukus Wells, a Binghamton based folk singer, great Cajun food by Bodreaux and Thibodeaux’s, a cham- pagne toast sponsored by Hey Taxi, and a wedding cake, which Cathryn and Pat cut the first piece! The cake was great and was made by Christopher Wilson, who appears on page 18 as a gues columist in this issue.
