Mr and Mrs. John W. Wilkinson
Mom and Dad's wedding reception was held at the United Shoe Machinery Corporation Country Club in Beverly. This was where Mom's father worked, and where my Dad's father's worked, too, right across the street. This facility still exists, but it is now the public golf course for the city of Beverly, Massachusetts. "The Shoe" or USMC is now the Cummings Center, an office park.
