Considering everyone's schedules, culinary and libationary interests, and worldwide locations, the Turner / Novak / Schumey / Crocker / Simon / Miller clans celebrated Bil and Kay Turner's 50th anniversary on June 29th -- six weeks after the actual date, but not a moment too late -- at the Waldorff Brewpub and Bistro.
