41 Years

Marblehead Public library,

Well today is our anniversary. We've been married for 41 years, and we get along so well that we're ready to sign up for another 41. I went out on a date with Libby when I was a senior in high school in 1961. That was only my second (and last) date ever. The rest is history.



I consider myself very lucky to have Libby and she would say the same about me. We also have three wonderful and happy children and a pile of wonderful grandkids. The support of a loving family is a tremendous advantage. Even with the strain of so much forced togetherness while living on the boat we still get along just fine. Most of the credit goes to Libby. She's really special.

We explored Marblehead on foot today. It really is charming. We love the old houses and the historic settings. They have the original painting of The Spirit of 76 hanging in the meeting room at the city hall. It's a splendidly beautiful day for walking around too.

I wanted to take Libby out to dinner tonight but she has plans to make Lasanga for me on the boat. It'll be a nice anniversary celebration.
