Three milestones in one year.

Rick turned 70 in June and Elayne turns 70 in December, and in the middle was their 50^th wedding anniversary.

Three great reasons to throw a big celebration, and the Pastoral Hotel was the venue of choice.

Congratulations Rick and Elayne O’Dea, and all the very best.
