My late father was born and lived in Hamilton, OH until he left for college (20 minutes away in Miami of Ohio). My paternal grandmother lived in the same house until her death in 1995. I was back up that way in my graduate school days, and got interested enough in my family's history to be up in that area from time to time. I know where the church mentioned in the article is, I think. Anyway, thank you for posting this, man. My dad's been gone just over a year now, and I'm sentimental enough that something about life still going on in places my dad knew well is nice to know about, especially something like this. 79 years. They were married *before my dad was born*! -Just a Chemist

Good for them. Incidently, I wonder if Ben Affleck and J. Lo will last that long.
ReplyDeleteWow, they outlived Betty White, and without a People magazine cover.
