I wouldn't think that makes the top ten list of things designed to help you live to 100.

Seriously, they deserve all the awards they got and more!!!

Amen to that!

And to CR's speculation about the family being the reason the story wasn't in the PH; all you need to do is mention the number of foster children and I think everyone would understand.

Besides, he only recently passed. If he were a UPC official it still wouldn't be in the Herald for a couple of months.

I heard on NPR the other day of a couple in Alabama who have been married 80 years this past month or so. They live in a nursing home in the same room. They still do everything together They are in their 90's. If one wants to go down and listen to the singing in the dining room they both go. Even if the other doesn't want to, the spouse will go because the other spouse wants to go. That right there tells me that is why they have a strong marriage still. They give to each other, they aren't just concerned about themselves. They were only 17 and 14 when they got married. Amazing!
