Was that Robbie Benson's first marriage?

After careful consideration, I now know that everyone I thought was wearing a hairpiece might not have been.

I was 19 and Gail 17. At least my plastic rimmed glasses are still in style! Every generation's "Hair" is weird to the next and previous generation.

Congratulations Dwight and Gail, that is fantastic. Wait one minute, Dwight really looks familiar. I can't quite seem to place it. For some reason I keep hearing lyrics in my head while looking at his photo. Wait it's coming to me. "Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye...."

George, You have set the bar up there pretty high, 57 years! There is a problem with putting the age we were when we were married along with the number of years we have been married out here. People can figure out how old we really are.

Dwight, I just noticed we have the same BD, june 12. Also, our wedding date is Aug. 30, 1 day before yours, but 1 yr after(1969). I took a military hop from Baltimore to NOLA; we got hitched labor day long weekend and drove up from small town Miss. to northern Maryland. Traveling long distances in a short time and having kids is definitely for the young.
Wishing youse guys continued bliss.

I have another weird coincidence. I met a guy through fishing who's wife has the same name as mine and they got married on the same day and year! Add to that we are the same age up to the month. And he had the same make and model car complete with the same color once. However that's where the similarity ends. He's a millionaire -- I'm not.

Was there an echo in the church when you said 'I do'? I wouldn't have noticed. I was too nervous. I did play guitar at a wedding once where one of the chandelier lights came loose from the ceiling and crashed down in the center aisle. This was just after everyone left the church. It would have killed somebody. Kind of weird I thought. But this is Dwight's thread... Sorry Dwight!

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
