Bob and Carol Brademann of Dawsonville celebrated their 50th anniversary on May 17, 2008. The couple celebrated with a trip to Maui, Hawaii, accompanied by their children and grandchildren. A luau was held in their honor on the beach of Old Lahaina Town in Maui.

The couple met in Minneapolis, Minn., in their early childhood through Carol's mother and Bob's grandmother, who were neighbors. They became fast friends, fell in love and married.

The couple have four children and eight grandchildren. Julie and Bill Carlson, Jill and Dan Darflinger of Gainesville, Jodie and Mike Cornick of Geneva, Ill., and Rob and Monica Brademann of Cumming wish their parents continued years of love, health and happiness.
