Amid all of the losses, there were positives for many people. Families celebrated new pregnancies, marriages, and homes. People furthered their education, they began new hobbies, and some shed a few pounds. One man even quit carpentry to open up a Lego store in Lancaster. We got married in October, said Samantha Hubler, who previously worked as a nurse at the Lebanon VA.
Newlyweds, like the Hublers, discovered what it meant to tie the knot. Other relationships are just beginning to be explored. Just celebrated our first Christmas together, and her name is Jeanne, said Joe Fullerton, a Chester County principal.
