Couple celebrates 72 years of marriage
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Valentine’s Day is for people to celebrate those they love. But the love goes far beyond just one day for a local couple. Martha and Gordon Wilson are both 96 years old and will be celebrating their 72nd wedding anniversary tomorrow.
“I think we were about four or five miles apart, she was on a farm, I was on a farm, I guess that’s where we met,” said Gordon.
“I was living away from home, I’d come home on Sunday and then he was visiting our family,” said Martha.
