Marsha Adams Celebrates The Big 6-0

By Judy Kestner

Marsha Whiteside Adams, the first-born child of Dr. Robert and Maxine Fieg Whiteside, recently celebrated her sixtieth birthday with an adults-only get-together at the vacation home of her brother and sister-in-law, Jeff and Kathi Whiteside.  Marsha's siblings and their spouses, Anne and Kevin Still and Bob II. and Kathy Whiteside, and her hubby, Bill, joined the festivities.

Marsha writes, "Too late in life my sibs and I have discovered the joy of getting together with our spouses--but not our parents or kids--to spend a few days celebrating whoever is having the big birthday.


"In early August we had a birthday rendezvous for my 60th, and that began my month long party. We met in Door County, WI, the peninsula of Wisconsin, on the Green Bay side. Jeff and Kathi have a darling 100 year-old cottage and a beautiful power boat there and graciously hosted us for a long weekend. We had a hot day (yes, they do have a few in Wisconsin) and spent the day at a beach on an island pigging out on sweet corn and Jeff's famous ribs. The next day was cool and a bit rainy but didn't stop us from taking a long cruise on their boat.

"One memorable moment--champagne and cake for dinner. Don't tell Mom! "

Here is a photo of the Whiteside kids on the "yacht."  Nice looking crew!
