On August 12th 1962, my parents got married. I'm glad they made that rational choice! Since they are the only people who actually read this blog, I thought I would say a few things to them. First, Mike, Kelly, Dora and I are very proud of them. The West Coast side of the family went to NYC a few weeks ago and joined the East Coast Kahns for a great reunion. Here is a late July 2012 photo of my favorite parents. It is surprising that two such attractive people could have a son who is a clone of Quentin Tarantino.
Second, you don't have to be a demographer to recognize that 50 years is a long marriage! While the parameter values are likely to have changed over time, I used this website and found that they had a 22% chance of reaching this milestone. You must admit that they look happy in this photo. I am not a sentimental guy but even I recognize that this is a big day! How are they celebrating? Apparently, they are off in the woods somewhere in the greater NYC vicinity.
