 Doris was 18 and Wendall Roberts was 21 when they eloped on May 18, 1935.  This is a story about a couple who have spent the last 75 years together happily married.  Wow! We really LOVE these stories!!

Doris and Wendall don't have a single photograph from the wedding, but they remember it like it was yesterday. 

Their secret, you ask?    Lots of work and lots of luck they say.  The met in grade school and fell in love at the school picnic.  You can read their entire story right here in the Kitsap Sun, from the tiny town of Bremerton Washington.  

And just in case you are wondering, that would make Doris 93 and Wendall 96.
