    Married 58 years today!
    People ask me how we’ve been so successful together all these years and I tell them, in any discussion or disagreement in nearly 6 decades with each other, I’ve never won a single one. And that’s fine by me.
    To my wife Jerri, I hope we’re together another 58

    With people getting married later and later, this will become increasingly rare. My parents are around 60 and my in-laws are at 61. Don’t know if I’m gonna live long enough to get close to that.

    Wow! Great couple.
    PS, I think Jerri is granddaughter (?) to Penn State legendary coach Rip Engle.

    Went to a dinner tonight with friends and family for our 50th anniversary. I put the game on DVR record, and didn't check the score at all! I was hoping to be surprised when i got home.
    Oh man, was i surprised!!!

    If CBN had any inkling of pride, honor, and decency... he wouldn't take the full buyout.

    Stricklin should be fired immediately!
