Now they live in Annapolis Maryland.

Oh, how marvelous! Happy 65th Anniversary! I hope they are blessed with many more!
And I love the quote!
Aww, I bet they wish you'd have gone too!
Congrats to the lovely couple. How wonderful to have spent 65 years together.
We have lots of Dutch friends here in New Zealand as many families emigrated after the war. We have eaten lots of Specula biscuits, rollmops and salty licorice. We also now have a birthday calender in our bathroom like our Dutch friends.
Hugs to all.
