Mazel Tov to Abraham and Frances Gersten celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary on October 20, 2010.

The Gerstens are the proud parents of four wonderful children: Sarah Gersten Holtzman (Jim) of San Diego, Calif., Sam Gersten (Karen) of Chicago, Ill.; Gay Gersten Guller (Steve) of Chesterfield, and Mark Gersten (Laura Shapiro) of Creve Coeur.  

Besides their children, the other joys of their lives are their 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren (with one more on the way next month). 

There will be a celebration luncheon with family and friends in October followed by another family celebration next month with a dinner party.
