She was a 24 year-old devorcee with three small children when they met for the first time...on a blind date no less. He was a 22 year old farm boy who had dabbled in the arts before and after high school. When a mutual friend set them up, I don't think they had any idea that nine kids and a lot of heart ache and joys later they would be celebrating 50 years together.
"Oh, help!" as my mother, Verlaine, is fond of saying. Happy 50th Mom and Dad!
