Met in Vietnam in 69, married in 70 in a Catholic + Jewish ceremony, moved around the world with 3 kids + various pets. Still going strong.
We would like to thank you for supporting Bud and Mary Beth in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Bud was an infantry officer working with local Vietnamese who preferred hamburgers to MREs so he came to the USO snack bar where Mary Beth was associated director. He harassed her into loving him.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?The fusing together of complete opposites. Our wedding was a Catholic-Jewish service complete with Rabbi flying to Iowa from Denver since there were few interfaith marriages in those days.
What would you do with $20,000?Rent a place to make memories with our children, grandchildren and great, grandchildren. They number 20 at present. We are truly blessed.
