A Facebook post from July 16, 2021: 

This was her, 50 years ago.

Long story short: I met her in November 1970. We had our first date in January 1971. I asked her to marry me in February. We got married July 16, 50 years ago today. I guess we rushed it, but as I explained to her, it took me 23 years to find her and I did not want to waste another minute. She gave meaning to my little insignificant life. It has been a wonderful journey. Thank you, dear Lord (and thank you, too, dear Judy), for enriching me beyond all monetary wealth. Happy Golden Day, Babe. My love for you has grown by a factor of at least 50.
