On July 16, daughter Nancy Seiler invited her parents over for lunch but said they first had to go to the swimming pool to get the kids.
When they walked into the Thornbrook Clubhouse, Mary Ann and Leo were surprised to see three generations of family
and many friends waiting to celebrate and make a "to-do" over such a milestone anniversary.
In attendance besides Nancy and her husband, John, were the Robertses’ other daughter, Sylvia Bradfield; grandsons Brian and Brett Bradfield and their spouses, Katy and Cristy; and granddaughters Melissa Meister and husband Pete and Michelle Ham and husband Trey from Olathe, Kan. Great-grandchildren included Matthew Bradfield, Bradley and Andrew Meister, Madalyn and Olivia Bradfield, and Elizabeth and Jackson Ham.

The 50th Wedding Anniversary of Don and Marilyn Roberts

Donald Ray Roberts (Class of ’53), son of Ray M. and Julia Blanche (Edwards) Roberts, and Marilyn H. Hummel (Class of ’54), daughter of Lynn Ellis and Ruth (Ridgway) Hummel, were married at the First Christian Church in Columbia, Missouri, by Dr. C. E. Lemmon on December 28, 1957. Maid of Honor was Marilyn’s sister Anne (Hummel) Cash and Best Man was Curtis Walton Brown.  Bridesmaids were Ellen Henry and Judy Roberts.  Groomsmen were Seth Slaughter and Larry Sutherland, and ushers were Robert Henry and David Taylor. Donald had completed his BA at the University and had finished 6-months of U.S. Army active duty at Fort Carson, Colorado; and Marilyn had performed her senior recital for her BA earlier that month.

Don completed his MA in English Education and Marilyn completed her MA in Music Education, and while Don fronted a dance band and Marilyn taught private piano lessons, the family grew:  David Lynn was born in 1958; Deborra Louise born in 1960; Michael Ray born in 1962; and Mark Hummel born in 1964.  From 1960 to 1967, Don return to Kewpie land and taught English and Journalism at Hickman High School.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Don left Hickman in 1968 and moved the family to northwest Missouri where he was English Consultant, Site Coordinator, and, finally Director of Project Communicate, a federally-funded project.  He returned to MU in 1970 and completed his Doctorate in 1972.  During the period 1967 to 1972, Marilyn continued taking courses, teaching in three elementary schools and teaching piano privately.  Don worked as Assistant NCA Chairman to Dr. Neil Aslin.

In 1972, Don joined the Shawnee Mission School District where he served in several administrative positions:  Director of Language Arts and Foreign Language, Director of the Curriculum Center, and in building administrative positions.  He continued to be active in NCA accreditation activities.  Marilyn continued teaching in elementary schools and privately.

Don retired from Shawnee Mission in 1997 and Marilyn retired from the Blue Valley District in 1998. They have 9 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. They took the family to DisneyWorld November 2007 to celebrate their GOLDEN MOMENTS.
Don and Marilyn live in Overland Park, Kansas.
