Loading ...That is a wonderful accomplishment in these times .
I live in a retirement community and had friends who had a BIG party at the clubhouse to celebrate her 90 th birthday and their 70th anniversary , simultaneously . One of my ‘treasures’ is a video capture I made of them speaking of their lives , his WWII Navy experiences , and her coming from Connecticut to Long Beach to marry him while his ship was in port there . She worked for an aircraft company and her colleagues put up the money to send her by train . He was an early radar operator , and while ashore was reassigned to another ship. The ship he left later took a direct Kamikase hit to the radar room where he would have been killed . As it was , he died peacefully just short of their 75th anniversary . It was known in the park that you did not go calling at their door on Sunday afternoons – that was hanky-panky time for them , LOL !
