2012: CELEBRATING 58 YEARS OF TRUE WEDDED BLISS

Fifty eight years; How the time has flown! The above photo was with me through my entire U.S. Army tour in Europe from 1955 through 1958. It reposed next to my bed (not "bunk;" we ASA guys lived off base in an apartment) and was on my R390 radio at my monitoring position. Fast forward to April 24, 2012. The greeting above is a classic that I will send to my family. When I awoke this morning a "Bounty" wipe was on my breakfast table with the inscription "you are a keeper..." In response, I drew the heart with my comment and replaced our Hallmark greeting with a Bounty greeting. True love never dies!

SEVEN YEARS AGO, THIS WEBSITE WAS CREATED AS AN HISTORICAL RESEARCH SOURCE.
I CHOSE THE SLOGAN "Local history with a personal touch," AND THAT SLOGAN WILL BE MAINTAINED. WITH AN AVERAGE OF 350 TO 450 "HITS" PER DAY, THERE WILL BE ONE HALF OF A MILLION VISITORS BEFORE THE END OF APRIL!
THAT'S 500,000 VISITORS WHO MAKE THIS WEBSITE A REGULAR STOP DURING THEIR BUSY DAY.

A heart-felt thank you to all the friends of "Glover320!"

HI TOM....THAT'S ONE THING IN COMMON THAT WE HAVE, MY WIFE AND I WERE MARRIED FOR 58 YEARS WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY IN 1998. YOUR WEB SITE HAS BROUGHT BACK MANY FOND MEMORIES FOR ME AND MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS MY WIFE AND MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.

Remember those Biblical words, Ralph: "In my house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am you may also be." Our faith harbors the belief that we will once again be with our loved ones in God's good time.

Real art using the best finely textured stationery, too. ;-) Congrats to you both!

(We're not even half way there yet.)

As I wrote on that paper towel, Bill:
"BRAVO;" when you care enough to send the very best!"
When you're married as long as I and many of my contemporaries have been, true companionship is an unexpected bonus.
