Michael & Diane Rumsey of Blossburg will be celebrating their 30th Wedding Anniversary on June 19, 2006. Their daughter Jill (owner of Toddler University) and son-in-law Shane Nickerson (owner of Nickerson Construction) both of Blossburg are very active in VIBE. Their son Michael will be a senior at Lock Haven University this fall term, majoring in Health and Physical Education. Mike and Diane are the proud grandparents of Mataya and Liam Nickerson. Celebration plans include dinner with family this weekend and planning to extend the celebration of their anniversary later this fall in Florida (St. Augustine and Daytona) during Bike Week with friends and family. Diane shared that both her and Mike finally got a chance to get some well-deserved time away to re-kindle their love for each other last week – as she went on a road trip with Mike on his 18 Wheeler for seven days – traveling across Ohio, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia.
