August 12, 1972. Michael Ney Machette and Nancy Geraldine Hart were married in the Portola Valley Presbyterian Church. After a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Hart, the newlywed couple spent their wedding night at the Stanford Arms Hotel in San Francisco in route to a honeymoon at Lake Tahoe, California. On August 22, Michael and Nancy packed their VW bus (Minerva) with all their worldly goods and departed for Denver, Colorado, where Michael will attend graduate school in Geology at the University of Colorado and Nancy will start her career in merchandising (Denver Dry Goods).

August 12, 2009. Michael and Nancy, married 37 years today, will celebrate the event in a low key manner. Nancy is researching bathroom fixtures and cabinets, whereas Michael is working on decks, electrical, water piping, and other chores at the new house. They plan to have dinner with neighbors (aka, Soup Night at the Poseys), and visit Victoria, BC, this weekend for a more formal celebration.
On August 17, 2009 they will have been in Port Townsend for exactly one year (oh yeah).
