Hubby was in the military for 22 years, then worked for the Sheriff's Dept. here in town (I assume as a deputy?). I guess he was older and she may have been a "child bride". I have no clue how old she is ... she's an "older" woman, but he died about 9 months ago and was 78 years old at the time. I don't think she's that old, but I suck at guessing ages. They met in Germany and he brought her to the States like 30 years ago. He had emigrated here from Germany back in the 50's and became a citizen. She's funny ... says hubby came over on a boat ... she came over on a jumbo jet! Other than just antiques, she's a bit of an expert on art also. I run into works of art all the time but don't know squat about it. Interesting lady and eager to hit an estate sale or ten.
