CLINTON — William D. and Mary Jane Conn celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on August 29.

The Conns also have 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

An anniversary luncheon was held on August 29 with relatives from Clinton, Normal and California.  Earlier in August, family members from Arizona and California arrived to celebrate.  Family from Colorado, Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota also plan to celebrate with the Conns later in September.
