Our Wine Tasting Parties have been a wonderful success: January chaired by Rosemary & John and Maurice & Jane Shepherd, then in March chaired by Ed & Meg Williams and Sherri & Joe Davies.

This saying is evident in the story of Maurice and Jane Shepherd.
During Memorial Day weekend, 1955, they met for the first time on the beach in Ocean City, NJ.
It was love at first sight as they were engaged in December of 1955, and married on May 19, 1956.
Incredibly, they are now approaching their 48 th wedding anniversary!
The Shepherd's came to BHP from Mt. Laurel, NJ where they lived for 34 years.
Maurice (aka, Shep) and Jane are both retired and enjoying all that BHP and the surrounding area has to offer.
Maurice retired in 2002 after working for UNISYS for 30 years.
Maurice was one of the pioneers in the information technology (IT) field, and was the Director of Public Sector Marketing upon his retirement.
Jane worked in the secretarial field for the RCA record division up until the birth of their second child.

The boy's father is an Episcopalian priest and met Maurice and Jane while they were visiting Maurice's brother in Guam.
Shortly thereafter, they received a letter from the priest asking the Shepherd's to be the boy's parents while he attended school in the U.S.

It is now almost 50 years since Maurice and Jane first met on the beach in Ocean City.
