My grandparents were married in 1917. Though I only knew them as a grandchild would, I'd say they were a Caffected couple of 65 years. The photo above was taken a year before he died at the ripe old age of 96. I believe it was hard work and a good life that allowed him so many years. He smiled frequently, laughed often and always had positive words of encouragement for everyone. Grandpa knew how to make everyday count.
