Sid & Sunny, Bend, OR - married 1957

Sunny:
The first date we went on, we went on a picnic out at the beach.  I was living in San Francisco, and he was living in Marin County.  On the road to the beach, he saw a side road, and said, "let’s go see where that goes."  And I…  "That’s the man I’ve been looking for!" (She laughs.)

Sid:
I was single for 45 years.  The first year we were married, I questioned my sanity.  "What the heck did I get married for?"  But my need, my want for her was so great, it overpowered the insanity part, and I figured, "this is what I need to make my life complete."
