Vince and Mary Call, 1974

The children of Vince and Mary (Blair) Call joyfully announce their parents’ 50th wedding anniversary.

The couple exchanged vows on Sept. 21, 1974, at St. Andrew’s Church in Saginaw, Michigan. They established their home in Alpena in 1976, where they raised two daughters and shared countless adventures on Lake Winyah Road.

Vince dedicated 38 years to serving Michigan families as a child and family services social worker, retiring in 2008.

Mary devoted her career to caring for the elderly and contributing to the Alpena Public Schools and Alpena Community College, until retiring in 2011.
