Happy 65th Wedding Anniversary

More of the Lill family.
My grandfather's brother, Percy moved to Renmark, so many of the Lill's reside in the riverland.
It is heartening to hear of the family there.
Auntie John and Auntie Pat recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. I loved staying with them when young, and with all the cousins, Uncles, and Aunties and so forth.
I was always in awe that Uncle John had survived the Japanese prison camps of Asia as a POW, and had worked on the Death Railway - Thailand to Burma. Some of this story is in the newspaper article.
Here is the article on their celebration. Congratulations!

I remember working on their fruit block and the wonderful fruits. Apricots, oranges, and more.
