Courtesy Photo Congratulations to Darryl and Mary McQuarrie, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 17. The couple asked that in lieu of gifts, friends and family donate gas cards or cash in support of Friends Together. Their amazing presentation of $1,000 to Shelly Gibbs at Friends Together will go a long way to help local cancer patients who need to travel to access care. Friends Together is located at 105 Prentiss Street, Alpena. Pictured are Darryl McQuarrie, Shelly Gibbs, and Mary McQuarrie.
