DOLORES L, BROGLEY BECOMES BRIDE OF JOHN E. KENNEDY IN YOUNGSTOWN (Continued from page 1) Lewis T. Kennedy, Jr., are cousins of the bridegroom, from New York. Thomas Patton was hest man and Henry Welsh, Stanley Weyrick and Robert Maughan ushered. Breakfast for the immediate families was served at the Parkview and the reception was held at the bride’s home where bridal appointments predominated. The newlyweds will live at 32 Manchester Ave. until their new home on Oran Drive is completed. Guests from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Kennedy and family, Mrs. Edward F. Davern, Mr. and Mrs. John Haddock, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Grassman, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Marotte, Mrs. John Shanahan, all of Syracuse, N. Y., Mrs. Merle Patten, Sr., Springfield, N. J., and Mrs. Mary Davis, Albany, N. Y. Advance announcement of the impending wedding appeared in the Verhovay Journal shortly before the bowling tournament. The news was of great interest to the bowlers, because the late Frank Brogley, former Director of the Verhovay, whose memory is perpetuated in the Frank Brogley Memorial Championship Trophy, was the father of the bride. Also, because Dolores, •together with her sister Jo Ann, participated in the bowling tournament. And every bowler, who met the Brogley girls at this tournament, will agree with their mother, who. on the occasion of her daughter’s wedding, wrote our National Secretary: “Being mother and father to a grown family is quite a job, Lut I do have two wonderful daughters and 1 am so vR’y thankful . . .” And so, on behalf of the entire Verhovay family, we extend our congratulations and best wishes to the lovely bride and the happy groom: may the coming years bring them all the happiness that loving' hearts may dream about. And may a wonderful mother have a full sharé in that happiness . . .! .
