It is wonderful that you have made it for so many years together--all 50 so far. I wish for you many more together.
I know that you have a terrific family and lovely children and some beautiful grandchildren that you are very proud of. Congratulations.
One story--that you may know and have heard before--but, when you and Bill married, Bill took you away--all the way across the United States to Florida (of all places). Your dad exclaimed, "If I had known he was going to do that, I would not have allowed her to marry him!" He was very unhappy to see you move so far away. But, you did after a few years move back.
It has been a real pleasure to be able to visit you at different times, and in recent years, stopping by Visalia to visit. We (usually Marian and I) always have enjoyed these visits with you.
I am wishing you a most delightful anniversary.
My love always,
Gladys Walters
