Allen and Patty Carter, of Dennis Township, celebrated their 20th
anniversary with an Alaskan cruise tour this past June. Here they
are at Denali getting ready for their next adventure. The editor is
going to let Allen get a pass on this one, because she loves her
Tuckahoe firefighters, but hopes the next time Mr. Carter submits a
Travels photo, he loves her enough to take the right paper.
Congrats, Allen and Patty! |
