Rabbi Ballon officiated. Sharon Lasky met her husband Sid Mishkin at Indiana University where they lived in adjacent dormitories at Graduate Residence Center (GRC). Sharon was from Oceanside, Long Island, and Sid from Donora, Penn. When they met in 1960 Sharon was a Yankees fan and Sid’s favorite team was the Pittsburgh Pirates. Those two teams played each other in the World Series that year. At the same time, the Kennedy/Nixon presidential elections were taking place. Between sports and politics, they had a lot to talk about. All of the slides that were taken of the wedding have been lost, so this photo is the only one remaining of their wedding. Jay Perler and Bonnie Schilling Perler were married on August 30, 1964 at Temple Tifereth Israel, in Columbus, Ohio. Their wedding ceremony included both sets of parents and all their siblings. Jay and Bonnie met in high school in Columbus and had their first date on Jan. 2, 1960. He was a senior and she was a junior, but at different schools. They were introduced through mutual friends. Jay went on to receive a master’s in social work from Ohio State University. In 1988, Jay and Bonnie moved to Indianapolis where Jay worked as an account manager for Levi Strauss for 22 years. They are both active at Congregation Shaarey Tefilla and have two adult sons and a daughter-in-law: Brian, who lives in Boulder, Co., and Adam and Stacey, who live in Carmel. When asked what advice they would give to a young couple who is just getting married, both Jay and Bonnie agreed that a sense of humor and a strong sense of family are so very important to making a marriage work.
