1. Spring cover creates interest Alumni couples' card still popular The following letter was sent to the Office of Alumni Relations in response to the Valentine’s Day card sent to Wittenberg couples. How delightful to receive a Valentine greeting from Wittenberg. On March 6th we were married 61 years. We are in reasonably good health and are active in our church and community. We have raised two super girls and have a wonderful 11-year-old grandson who has brought much joy into our lives. We have traveled extensively and have many happy memories of those years. We met in Dr. Bloomhardt’s Ancient History class and kept in touch with him until his death and then his wife would write us. We had a Model A Ford with a rumble seat, and Dr. Bloomhardt often rode in the rumble seat in the good weather as we drove him home. He was a good sport and a friend. Prof. K.G. Lind was also our friend, and he and his wife had us for dinners, which was much appreciated. Mr. Glunz owned a typesetting company and was able to retire at age 50, which gave us ample time for our travels. This was in Cleveland, Ohio. We have now lived in N.C. for 20 years — a small town of 700 people. We have recently gotten our second traffic light, and we don’t like it a bit. It is a wonderful place to live, pretty at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, friendly and great weather. One of the funny things I remember is being campused for letting Fred give me a pecking kiss in broad daylight on the front porch of Ferncliff. Dean Immell was watching! We have been back for reunions and to show our girls where we met. Of course we think Wittenberg is the best and mention it frequently — 61 years because of meeting there.
