We still laugh a lot, still hold hands, still love being together. Most people can’t believe we’ve been married as long as we have.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
My boyfriend came to the house for a visit and he had a buddy with him. I was 13 and he was 14. His buddy is now my husband.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?While we were both working we were able to travel a lot. While it’s hard to pick one that was better than any other there was a trip to Calgary that stands out. Going from Southern California to Canada in June surprised us with the cold weather. We hadn’t packed any warm clothing or outerwear. So we went to a used clothing store and bought a few things. My sister and brother-in-law went with us, it was a great time.
What would you do with $20,000?We are both retired and in a couple of months will celebrate our 60th anniversary. At this time we can’t really afford to have a party or travel. With the money we would be able to throw a great celebration and then take a cruise. Also we would use the money to take a few trips in the future.
