Derry Kid’s marriages -
Ardis & Claude (married August 18, 1944) used to joke around saying that Waller and Nell went on their honeymoon with them. Yes, Doyle was there - in fact she is the only member of the family who was at each of the first marriages of us 4 kids. Doyle and her 3 kids came to Nebraska for Duke’s marriage to Marian in August 7, 1949, and she flew to DC to my wedding, March 16, 1957. Daddy couldn’t come to my wedding because he had already agreed to check cattle loans; Duke was going to fly back to DC in a Kansas Air Guard but there was some snag so he couldn’t come so Doyle came - I walked down the aisle by myself but when the minister asked who gave me away, she stood up and said she did for my mother and father. I thought that was pretty neat!
We also took her to National Airport so she could fly back to Ft. Worth - I was still in my wedding dress and veil - we walked into the terminal and a little 4 yr old girl saw us and exclaimed, “A BRIDE!” — A very favorite memory - I’ll never forget how that little girls eyes lit up.
