Dean and Arlene were married on 7th. August, 1948 and celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary on Thursday 7th August, 2008.
Although I have never met them in the flesh I have got to know them really well through our internet friendship over the past few years. Dean is a decorated World War II Veteran having served as a Paratrooper in the 11th US Airborne Division and saw active service in Japan with the 511th Parachute Infantry Patch during wartime.
In peacetime he later became a police officer and specialised in dog handling. He retired from Antioch Police in California and now lives in retirement with his beloved wife Arlene in the Californian Mountains at Murphys. He is a devout Christian and dedicated family man. It has been my honour and privilege to rank him amongst my best friends. I wish both of them a really happy Diamond Wedding Anniversary and long may their union continue with good health and much joy.
