Thanks to a bit of detective work & the brilliant

Thanks to a bit of detective work & the brilliant Shelly at the Old Courthouse Museum, I was able to locate & visit the church in Sioux Falls (SD) where my parents eloped 56 years ago. Built in 1961 & designed by the architectural firm of Hugell, Blatherwick, Fritzel, & Kroeger, the building is now home to the Main Stage Ballet & Dance Academy. Though the building was closed Saturday morning, I was able to peer inside & see what used to be the sanctuary - the room where my parents’ 40-year partnership began. ❤️
