Hooper-Griswold Married
In Flashlight Ceremony
The wedding ceremony unit
ing Myra Griswold of Soldatna
and Garrard Hooper of Spen
ard was conducted by flashlight
by Kenai Magistrate Jess Nich
olas when trouble at the Kenai
Power plant left the city tem

The power failure following
a mix-up in schedules which
delayed the wedding for a day,
left the prospective bride and
groom in Anchorage and the

made the wedding even more
confused than is usually the
case.
Everything finally straight
ened out and the popular
couple, attended by the bride’s
mother Mrs. Elnora Brown and
Mr. Lee Brown, were married
in a civil ceremony in the Ke
nai Magistrate’s office at 5 p.m.
Dec. 6th.
Others in the wedding party
were Mrs. Dorothy Collins
from Bakersfield, Calif., Mrs.
Walter Hooper and Walter
Hooper, Jr., the groom’s sister
in-law and nephew.
The reception was held at
Parker’s Cafe in Soldatna
