On Sunday 26 October the blessing of the marriage of Alex Yakimov and Tammy Smith was served in our church.  Alex, the grandson of parish founder and our first Warden, Alexander N. Yakimov, was an altar server at Narara and later in the early days at West Gosford.  Our parish choir sang under the direction of O. I. Itsikson, and a great many family members and friends were in attendance.  We warmly congratulate Alex and Tammy on their marriage, and wish them many years of happiness together!
