55 years!


She was from Colorado; he from Kansas. They met as high school classmates and shortly thereafter (55 years ago today) said their vows to one another.

Our anniversary celebration will begin in earnest next week as our family gathers from near and afar.
Our thanks to Donald Woodford for the beautiful 55 anniversary scroll work mantelpiece. How appropriate to have a timepiece mounted in a momento marking the anniversary of passing years. Years are made up of hours and minutes, every one precious. We are blessed.

  3. Congradulations, Your wife and you look as young and as happy as you did the day you married, Fantastic achevement and a roll model for other couples to follow. You just dont see that too often any more. It is always easy to give up, it takes real Love and Understanding, Patience and Respect, ( I am sure I left out a bunch of other stuff) to keep it all together.
    I wish others could follow in your example.
    I wish you another 55 years. God Bless the Both of you. Nice Scroll work, by the way. Bill

    Like so many people said before, it is great to see a couple together in a time where that is not the norm. Thanks for setting the example for us and keep up the great work.

  21. Clinton and Adelia How nice it would have been if we could have helped you celebrate this milestone at the Vent Haven Conbvention. But I guess due to some other engagements this was not possible...I know I am very late in acknowledging your 55th but better late then never..So to both of you I send my hope and prayers for those remaining years together are of the happpiest you have had thus far..Lov ya both N Jay Holtz
