Marriage Tribute

I cried while reading the full page ad from Dean to Evelyn (June 7) in honor of their 40th wedding anniversary. I haven’t read anything as touching in The Times since sports writer Jim Murray’s tribute to his late wife last year.

It is very refreshing to read about such a long and happy marriage at a time when all I seem to hear about is divorces. I’ve been married for just a year and eight months, and I certainly hope my husband and I can have 40 years together.

It’s too bad that Dean had to pay for this lovely testimonial. Rather, The Times should pay him. It was better reading than anything else in the paper.
