50 Years Is But A Blink Of An Eye


On March 27, 1959 a handsome young man (skinny with a nearly full head of hair) married a remarkably beautiful young woman. He told her they would wait until she turned 20, because he refused to marry a teenager. So, two days after her 20th birthday the sweethearts became man and wife.

My parents have always loved one another. They are a wonderful example of wedded bliss. Of course they have had their share of tribulations, but their love and commitment to one another have pulled them through the tough times. Today with both of them in failing or fragile health, they still take comfort in each others presence.

Tomorrow we travel to Dillon to celebrate their 50 years together. It will be low key. They want it that way. We will meet in Butte at Lydias to celebrate as a family.

Congratulations Mom and Dad!!
