BILL AND YVONNE BILLO
Longtime Clayton residents Bill and Yvonne Billo will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary Aug. 5, surrounded by their children, grandchildren and great-grand children. They were engaged during the war in 1942, while Bill was serving in the Army Air Corp
(the early Air Force). A wedding was planned in their hometown of Detroit; however, Bill’s leave was canceled due to events of WWII. Yvonne traveled by train to where Bill was stationed and they were married in a small church in Hobbs, N.M., on Aug. 5, 1943. Bill served in the Air Force for 23 years and received the Purple Heart for injuries sustained during his service. They had five children and traveled extensively while being stationed in locations throughout the world. When Bill retired, they settled in Concord. They lived in Concord until the development of Oakhurst Country Club. They then moved to beautiful Clayton, finding a house with a view of their beloved Mt. Diablo. The Billos joined St. Bonaventure’s Church in 1964 and have been active parishioners for almost 50 years.
NEW YORK In June, we went back to school with Sonja Wilkin for her 55th class reunion at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Twelve of her Chi Gamma sorority sisters were on hand for the reunion, all of whom were at Sonja’s wedding when she married her husband on graduation day in 1958.
