New initiative honors married life

VICKSBURG – Janice Waring, Geraldine Rossi and Barbara Hill look at wedding pictures couples brought to the inaugural St. Paul Date Night, a new program to honor married life. Organizers recognized the longest married couple, Bill and Beverly Pinner, celebrating 63 years, and the most recently married, Mike and Sarah McMillin, celebrating two years. Attendees filled out questionnaires before they left with suggestions for future date night gatherings. Organizers say Father Thomas Lalor, pastor, came up with the idea for the program (Photos by Connie Hosemann)
