Sentimental Sunday: Bob & Lorrie's Wedding, June 1954


Another photo from the wedding of my aunt and godmother, Dolores "Lorrie" Frances Olker (1929-2005), and my dad's brother, my uncle and godfather, Paul Robert "Bob" Pape Jr. (1926-2008), on June 19, 1954.  From the left, Nicholas Francis Olker (1900-1982), Lorrie, Bob, Anna Dorothy Grundhoefer Olker (1905-1991), Elizabeth Florence Massmann Pape (1902-2000), Paul Robert Pape (1896-1970), and the groom's niece (who was perhaps a flower girl), Rosemary Jean Streff Grandusky (1949-2016).

Lorrie's parents, Frank Anthony Olker (1899-1949) and Eleanore Helen Becker Olker (1905-1936), died before the wedding, so her uncle and aunt stood in for her parents.

This is from a Kodachrome slide found in the study of my late father, Frederick Henry Pape (1929-2017), who was the best man, and probably took the photo.
