    Default The day has arrived.

    After meeting in a revolving doorway many moons ago,
    and going around together ever since, Val and I can
    proudly announce today that we have now been married
    for 50 years.

    We now look forward to another 50.

    Congratulations, Allan, that is a terrific milestone that not many can ever achieve these days. It is a credit to both of you. I have 9 years to go to reach that target.

    Man you share many more happy years together
    regards,
