Remembering Dondero

A Dondero Wedding

Renate and I were married Jan. 23, 1969, in the 1st Methodist Church. Since we didn't know anybody in Reno except my employer, Pete Echeverria, it was a small wedding: Pete Echeverria was the best man, his wife Kay the flower girl, and Don Dondero was the official photographer.

We wanted to get married in Virginia City, but the snow was so deep that January that all the churches were closed.

Don Dondero invited us to his home so he could take the photos there.

What a great guy!

Please forward your personal memories of Don and Liz Dondero and I'll post them here.

Thanks.
