Having started dating on the fifth day of freshman year at Susquehanna University, they've been together ever since. With opposite personalities, they've worked well together and been best friends, triumphing over challenges. They feel blessed to have had a good half-century to achieve their dreams, the best being their cherished family. They hope to share several more seasons loving each other on their Linden farm.Linden couple
