Lucy Goose

Here's a picture of Susan and Maid of Honor Lucy "Goose" Danford.



Here she is again with her parents, Steve and Linda, at Tivoli outside of Rome.


She is a great Maid of Honor and a wonderful friend. She's also an accountant-in-training, a freelance New Orleans tour guide, an art history scholar and an accomplished socialite.

Things We Do

Clay plays guitar.
Susan is a writer.
Susan and Clay both like to travel and ski.

Here is Susan at an exciting Indian restaurant in New York.


Here is Clay at the beach.

Here is Susan playing dress-up (It's Halloween) with Chrissy the Bridesmaid.


Here are Susan and Clay visiting a plantation in White Castle, Louisiana.


And here they are later that day at tiny french restaurant in Baton Rouge.



Clay also teaches karate! Here he is at a tournament.



Here is Susan at John Keats' grave in Rome.


Susan also played the piano for many years. Both Susan and Clay were in lots of plays. They were even in the same plays but not at the same time.
Susan also likes to play tennis. Sometimes Clay plays tennis with her. She plays the theremin too, but not very often. One of the most exciting things Clay and Susan have done together is to go on a swamp tour near Baton Rouge! They were not eaten by alligators.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find

But Not Really!

Not At Clay and Susan's Wedding!

Here's the Best Man, Erik Strom, and his wife, Charlotte


Erik and Charlotte are painters. They spend the wee hours at Lyndon St. Artworks.

They have a dog named Sam and a cat named Luna.

Plumbers of Honor

These are the official wedding plumbers, Walker Davidson and Jane Shaffer. This picture comes from another wedding they plumbed; supposedly they do great work. They also run a catering business but be assured: they do the two things on separate days.

And here is a picture of Susan and Clay at Clay's work shower.
Notice how Clay is making the extra effort to lean over to read the card - a sure sign of a good husband according to Donna Perreault, Susan's co-worker and Associate Editor at The Southern Review.
