Show Family honors Bill and Pauline Lewis on Golden Anniversary Surprise! Surorise! That is ex- Surprise! Surprise! That is exactly ex-actly what it was for Bill and Pauline Lewis on their 50th wedding anniversary anni-versary Aug. 26. The occasion was given at the Oak Crest Inn in Spanish Fork by their children, L. Edward and wife, Karen Robinson Lewis, from Leslie, Illinois, and LaReta Lewis Peterson Peter-son and husband, Mick, from Orem. What Bill and Pauline thought to be a small family dinner turned out to be a joyous affair with balloons, bal-loons, banners and all the decorations decora-tions that go to make a party. A savory prime rib dinner with all the trimmings was served to all those in attendance including the couple's brothers and sisters, or a representative of those family members who are deceased. Edward gave a tribute to his parents and presented each of them with a double eagle gold coin. LaReta followed with a book she made of "This is Your Life," with pictures and letters from all members of their families. Bill was born in Goshen March 27, 1916 to Edward and Gwendolyn Gwen-dolyn Rees Lewis, the eighth child in a family of nine.
