Gloat

[Don Henthorn Smithville, TX]

Today is the beginning of my 87th year, but the real joy is that it marks the beginning of my 62nd year of marriage to the same great woman. How can one be so lucky?

[Jim Becker]

No sleep for you tonight, big guy!!! :D :D :D :D

(CONGRATULATIONS!!! We should all be so lucky to happily share companionship with one person for so long.)

[lloyd morris]

My congratulations and very best wishes for you both as well.

Congratulations Don, My father is 90 years old-married 68 years and still makes childrens tables and chairs, cabinets, toy boxes and book shelves.

[Bill Simmeth]

Just the way it's supposed to be!! Congrats. Jim.

[Steve Ash]

Congrats!...that should be a mega super gloat. :D That is much better than any tool gloat.

Give her a extra hug from all of us at SMC, and a pat on the back for yourself.

[Tyler Howell]

Bravo Bravo Congrats Don.

[Paul B. Cresti]

Congratulations to both of you! And wishing you the best for the next 60!

[Vaughn McMillan]

Both are very gloatworthy occasions, Don. Whatever it is you've been doing, it must be the right thing. Continue. :)

If you hadn't posted your age, I was gonna accuse you of marrying that gal when you were about 8. ;)

O.K. Mr. Don... Time to fess up. Sixty years! What are your secrets?

[Don Selke]

Congratulations Don:
I thought I was an Old Timer, to You I am still a kid at 67. Congratulations on your many years of marriage as well. I have been with my wonderful wife for 47 years and am looking forward to many more. I guess it must be something that they put in the water back then.:) :) :)

[Keith Christopher]

WOW !!! This is a gloat that beats all tool gloats ! Congrats and many more !!!!

[Brett Baldwin]

You're a man with true riches Don. Many happy returns.

[Norman Hitt]

A Big, Big Congratulations to you Don on both accomplishments. Like Don Selke said, "there must have been something in the water back then", as I also am 67 and in two months and 7 days will have been with my LOML 45 yrs. (Maybe I could get a little extra credit on the 45 yrs, since mine is a RedHead):rolleyes: :D

[John Bailey]

Don,

Super gloat!! Congratulations. Now, what did we make the little lady for the occasion?

John

[Glenn Clabo]

Wow...isn't that just wonderful. Now Don...it appears that it took you 25 years to convince your lady to marry you...was she playing hard to get :cool: or are you one of those men who has a hard time with commitment? :rolleyes: :D

[Karl Laustrup]

Congratulations to you both. Many more as well. :)

Question Don; After 62 years, do you have to ask her permission to buy a new power tool?:D All kidding aside, You are truly blessed and must have been doing a lot of things right all those years. Congratulations!

[Gary Herrmann]

Congrats, Don. I'm a neophyte by comparison. A paltry 16 years. After 62, I'd think you could look at something and raise an eyebrow or shrug a shoulder and she'd not only know what you thought, but what you saw - even if she didn't. Very cool.

[Peter Stahl]

Wow! Congratulations Don. Hope you have many more!

[Bob Oehler]

Congrats.

Best whishes to you and the Mrs.

I hope I am as lucky

Have a great day

Don,

A huge congratulations on both counts. That is a real gloat for sure :)

[Steve Stube]

Congratulations! You two are blessed indeed because if there is such a thing as luck it would have run out a long time ago.

[Ron Jones near Indy]

Congratulations to the Henthorns! You have, as I'm sure you know, been truly blessed. Many more of each to you!

[Carl Eyman]

Don: Every year I hope to gain a little ground on you, but you maintain your lead. I'm about to start 85th of life and in the 61st of marriage. So you are still the leader. Keep it up

[Don Henthorn Smithville, TX]

Carl, I think we are the tail end of a dying breed. I erred in my marriage years. It is actually the beginning of the 63rd year. I really enjoy your posts and wish the very best to you and your wife.

[Martin Shupe]

Carl and Don,

I hope you will both stick around for another decade or more. I really enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for all the sharing you do, and congrats to both of you on long lives and marriages. Heck, maybe you can be on Paul Harvey, have you checked into that?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Don,.....A Happy belated birthday and Anniversary! Congrats to you and your wife!
