Cleveland County couple celebrate 64 years of marriage done right
Sitting down for a conversation with Eugene and Mary Jane Curry is a lot like savoring a glass of sweet iced tea on a steaming July afternoon.
Don t rush it. Drink it slowly. Enjoy all of its flavor and nuance and richness. And then rise refreshed, your faith renewed in humanity and in the basic goodness of people.
The Currys celebrated 64 years of marriage this past week. They have been married nearly as long as I ve been alive, and I most definitely am no spring chicken.
But chicken or no, I crossed the road Kilgore Road in southeastern Cleveland County and visited with them, wanting to perhaps learn the secret of a marriage that has stretched across the decades and a friendship that is even older.
