I Do … Forty-four Years Later … I Still Do

Nina At Her WeddingForty-four years ago this evening Nina and I were married. Eight children later we’re still going strong … if a bit forgetful. This morning Nina was writing in her journal and suddenly realized this was the Twelfth of June and our anniversary. I was afflicted with the same malady and had also completely forgotten. Forgiveness came quickly, fortunately.

I was a young Airman in the United States Air Force living in New Haven, Connecticut attending Chinese Language School at Yale University. Nina was a Senior at Hamden High School. We met on a blind date and within a couple of weeks my heart was hers. And it still is!

Since then we’ve had a great ride which is still going. I’m quite ready for it to continue well into eternity!

I did and I still do!

  1. Congratulations on your 44 year anniversary. Luckily I haven’t forgotten one yet, but then again I’ve only been married 9 years. You’ve had 35 more opportunities to forget 😛

  2. Congratulations on another wedding anniversary. I must say that you made a very cute couple back then. Maybe because you had hair??

    Love ya both,
    Perry

  3. Does Roland have hair in that picture? Regardless, in 51 years, I haven’t forgotten our anniversary and still remember the wonderful time we had when Roland and Nina journeyed from Idaho to Colo. to be a part of our 50th anniversary. Congrats to our two special friends, who we miss so much. Phone calls and emails don’t quite make up the distance and the great hugs from you two!

    Bobbie and me
