On a windy March day in 1938, Walter Weingarten 93, married the love of his life Marie 89. Walter was a farmer, therefore love and work have gone hand in hand threw out their marriage. They still live on the same land where Walter grew up. In 1959 the couple built a new home where they still reside.
Working in the fields with his brother Henry, Walter a 23-year-old farmer was almost late for his own wedding when his brother reminded him of what time it was. Walter had to hurry from the fields to collect his 19-year-old bride, Marie Hill, from the nearby farm. The couple headed for Castle Rock to get their license. (Why Castle Rock? "We wanted to take a little trip," he said.)
The Weingarten's had the first of several 70Th anniversary celebrations with family.
Walter, and Marie have three children - Kathryn, Sunny and Sonja - four grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.
