Congratulations, that many years togeather, and still in love in truly a blessed event.
It was Aug 12 in Salzburg 1970, that I met my wife to be (Sue). She gave me a ride back to Strub Kasern that day. We dated through out the summer and fall and then got engaged that Christmas 1970 in Garmisch at the International Bar and Grill. We were married in March of 1972 in her home town of Rupolding, about 40 K's outside of B -Gaden. Just take the Alpine highway and you will run into Rupolding. She and I spent half our Honeymoon at the B- Hof Hotel and the other half at the Von Stuben in Garmisch. It has now been 34 years + and we have two grown childern. A Son, 32 years old and a Daughter who will turn 30 years old in Nov. We also have two grand daughters. Five years and Three years old. The best thing that ever happened to me, that summer, that year, 1970, as a life guard for AFRC, was when I met Sue, my wife, on the way up to the Castle in Salzburg. She has stayed by my side through out my Army career and my Civil Service career. As we approch our retirement in a few years, I'm sure she will be by my side untill the final days. This is the reason the Summer of 1970, Berchtesgaden, and the pool at the Hof are so special to me. If not for her and that summer I have no idea how I would have turned out. God Bless 1970.
