Orange County Culture

               Previously I had discussed what appeared to be a real culture anomaly with people of our generation in Orange County in terms of length of marriages.

         We got enough data back to show that we are probably unique ( of course we already new we were special!)

             We have a lot of couples who have been married a long time. I know there are some more out there, but congratulations to all of these people who told us and have found a way to stay happily married to their spouses for a very long time.

                Larry and Sharon Wininger                          63 years

               Jerry and Karen Spruell                                62 years

                Tom and Janice Toney Collins                      62 years

                 Ken and Judy Trinkle                                   62 years

                 Bill and Gwen Wells                                    62 years

                 Maurie and Claudia Michel                          60 years

                 Bill and Karin Cobb                                      60 years

                 Steve and Cathy Coulter Qualkinbush         60 years

                  David and Larita Rutherford Qualkenbush  60  years

                 Larry and Glenda Davis                               57 years

                 Bert and Rena Robbins Watson                   54 years

                  Dick and Marcia McCracken                        47 years

     A couple of our widows reminded me that they were of the same culture and had their spouses lived they would be in the same group of long term marriages.

          Bob and Mary Gehl Vesleff had been married 43 years when Bob passed in 2010.

           Butch and Patricia Kirby had been married 53 years when he passed in 2020.

        A GREAT BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU!!!
