Wife and I finally hit the 50th Anniversary today!

Post by fortyshooter » Sat Sep 06, 2025 11:32 am

Yes on a warm humid Saturday afternoon back on September 6 1975 we started our married life and have enjoyed many great years together.
Last couple of years wife and I struggle with her Alzheimers but we keep going. Would love to go back in time and do it all over again as those were some great times! So this evening it will be hot and humid with storms moving in later and hope to enjoy a dinner with family.

The 1974 Z/28 was a great honeymoon coach!

You sure were a cute couple. My Wife worries about Alzheimer's as her Mother died of it way too young. Carol has already outlived
her and she still works every day because she thinks that keeping her mind active will ward it off. So far, it seems to be working.

Fifty Years, that is an accomplishment. Sorry to hear about your wife's battle, good on yah for sticking with her.
My best wishes for both of you.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.

It's a bittersweet anniversary, Forty, but the current of a love like yours flows really deep and celebrating it today -- together -- is extraordinary. Congratulations.

Congrats on such a huge milestone. The very best to your wife and to you also. Just seems so unfair looking at her in your wedding photo, so young and vibrant. You’re a good man for sure.
