Happy Couple Celebrates 70th Wedding Anniversary


A love that has endured for seventy years:
Helen and Curtis Howland got hitched on Jan. 7, 1939 in Wayland. They first met at a roller rink in Marlborough. "We've been going around together ever since," said Helen.

Nine children, 21 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren later, this bride and groom are still going strong. "I just keep saying we made it another year, dear," said Helen. "Want to try for another one?"

The happy couple says compromise makes a marriage last -- and spending time with family. "You don't see many who can make it to 70," said Helen and Curtis' daughter Maralyn McGillivray. "They live a long life, but to make it 70 years ... is amazing."
