Heise 40th Anniversary Wrap-up
Don and Bev Heise celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary June 14th, 2007 at the Maple Corner Community Center to a crowd of friends and family over 100 strong. For all that were there, it was a spectacle made up of dry humor and touching elegance; that which will not be seen (thank god) for another ten years most likely.
With the MC duties shared between Don and Bev, the show featured stories involving those in the audience, a slideshow, a cerenation by Don to Bev, a comical skit put on by the Connell family, and many under-dressed has-beens of Heise Family lore. All of this was fittingly wrapped up by Don and Bev walzing solo to the famous Box Set diddy, Valentine, in front of a very sweaty, packed house at the MCCC.
Among the celebrities in attendance were Larry “The Godfather” Myers, Dana “The Missing Link” Jewell, Thomas J. Eid (The Guide), Shaun “Stretch” Morse and several Champney’s, who were promptly removed by security after an attempt to steal the beer keg.
Chad Heise played a strikingly mediocre guitar as Hawk laid down his baritone version of James Blunt’s “Beautiful” to the fair lady Heise. Those in witness noted that bigger bombs hadn’t been seen since the likes of Hiroshima; but nevertheless a good time was enjoyed by all….once beer was served.
After the entertainment portion of the celebration, several members of the Sand Dunes collective were seen swimming naked in Curtis Pond, upon which time it was reported that Sean Murphy was detained and deported back to Canada, while Joe Trono was later released on his own incognitive…err, recognisance. All in all, there were only minor casualties (Chad Heise reportedly suffered from vampant rug-burn and dog-hair inhalation from falling asleep on the floor with Sadie), suffered mostly by those watching John Connell dance.
For those of you who missed the show, we offer the pictures below as testimony to what is now simply known as “The Heise 40th Massacre”.
