Happy 75th, Clarabelle and Ross

We’re big fans of long marriages — Bill’s parents were married for almost 53 years and Ron’s for just under 50 — so we’re happy to see this story in the Daily Times about Ross and Clarabelle Snodgrass, who are celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary on July 1.

Clarabelle recounts meeting Ross:

“When I was a teenager, me and some friends went to a dance at the community theater building in Comfort that housed a basketball court, a dance floor and a picture screen. It’s where all the community things happened,” she remembered. “Ross and his brother came to the dance without any dates. We talked some and danced a few times that night.

“I remember going home that night and saying ‘that’s the man I’m going to marry,’” she said.
