PLATTSBURGH — Mr. and Mrs. James H. Coon of 236 Hill St., Keeseville, and Crystal River, Fla., were honored June 6, 2009, in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary.
Their children, Karen Coon and Charles Crooker of Peru and Ricky Coon and Danielle Fuller of Keeseville, held a dinner reception with music in their honor at the Plattsburgh VFW Post on Boynton Avenue in Plattsburgh with family and friends in attendance.
James Coon and Gail Bechard were married Jan. 3, 1959, in St. Joseph's Church in Coopersville.

They have six grandchildren: Justin (and Taetum) Crooker of Peru, Krystal Crooker of Peru, Kelly (and Clem) Bell of Plattsburgh, Jeffrey (and Courtney) Coon of Plattsburgh, Heather (and Bryan) Douglas of AuSable Forks, and Holly Coon of Peru.

Discussion
ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.
Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.
Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.
We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.
Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:
There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.
Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.
Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.
Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)
Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”
Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.
Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.
Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.
In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.
Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.
We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.
