Family Treasures

My husband’s grandparents, George and Evelyn, are very special people. They’ve been married for 70 years and still love each other like the first day.

When he was young he enlisted to go fight in World War II, but was rejected because of a heart condition. He was determined to go over to Germany and help, so he became a Lutheran Pastor.
